[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses. Have her do 50/50. I would insist on it. Money does evil things to relationships sometimes. It's worth it to avoid any feuds. She can always set up a 529 for your kids or leave them a little money too. That to me is different than giving you more, but not allocating specifically for the kids.[/quote]

Just read the other responses. OK so she can't do a 529 now, but I'm sure there is a way to leave some to the kids and her step kids. I would insist that you and your bro get the same amount. He loves his wife and he chose her. Leave her out of it. If she adores her own children and wants to ensure she doesn't cause problems between the 2 of you it must be divided equally. Believe me these things cause big problems. There are stories on both sides on my families spanning back generations when we were pobably lower middle class, far from wealthy. Beautiful relationships ended. I have heard similar stories from friends as well. It's not worth it. Having a good relationship with your brother is priceless.[/quote]
