[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting something isn't the same as treating all the kids the same. 
A former boss remarried to a younger woman with 3 kids under 12. He had 3 kids in their 20s. He set up an estate plan treating all the kids equally. 
He got Alzheimer's, she put him in a care home, divorced him. He died and his kids got half and the other kids who left with mom got the other half. After taking care of him for 5 years.
Should have done a prenup,[/quote]

her three kids should not have gotten anything. [/quote]

Umm...he set it up (when he was mental stable it seems) to support all 3 equally.  That was his choice.  Shows he was committed to his 2nd marriage and loved his step kids as well.  His money, his choice.  [/quote]

Yeah well they didn't love him as it turns out. No flowers or even condolence notes from any of them. By then they were late teens. [/quote]

You were expecting teenagers to send condolence notes to you?  When they were grieving?  That sounds like an unrealistic expectation.  That's not what teens do.  If they actually felt like he was their father, it's hard to lose a father figure when you're a child.  Relatives should have been consoling them not expecting consolation.[/quote]

Once they skedaddled back to WVA with mom, nobody ever called, emailed, texted or went to see him or anything. For 5 years. I doubt they were wracked with grief. Busy with new dad mom had dated in high school. They literally walked away with millions while he had to rely on money from his biological kids.

Young wifey sure was protected, huh

He was a nice guy and loved by his community and former employees. Big funeral with noticable absences.
