[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, so let me explain why I feel it is mine and not shared. My wife and I are going to get separated. About a year ago a relative passed away and unexpectedly left me a fair sum. Even then my wife & I kinda both knew things were on the rocks, so I only told her about a tiny part of this relative's holding. She knows nothing of the major windfall. This relative was not on her side of the family. The trust wasn't set up correctly so the funds have been held up. With a bit more delay I think I can probably keep it all. Or I could funnel the money into another. Either way, regardless of legal claim, it becomes practically difficult to do anything about this after separation. I just need to keep her in the dark a bit more. We're splitting all the other assets. She doesn't really need extra. And if we had separated just a bit earlier, she wouldn't have any claim on an unrelated person's inheritance. Why should she now have a claim by this chance? It's MY relative. And -- despite the fact that I'm telling her our split is mutually amicable -- she's never really respected or appreciated me. Why should I even consider sharing?[/quote]

You’re an idiot.

Inheritance is not marital assets. FFS.

This is not legally her money.

Get the money and put it in your own account so it’s never commingled with marital money.[/quote]
