[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are the type of in-law that comedy or horror movies are based upon.

If you won't admit what you are doing during your reception toast delivered in front of both families, that should tell you something.

Your bank account is probably huge but your heart sounds very small and sad.[/quote]

Totally disagree. You can care and love a son in-law but still hold your daughter’s best interests above that of the son in law. Things happen:

- son in law cheats
- son in law does drugs, gambles, stops working voluntarily - all things to deplete the marital assets
- son in law treats wife poorly
- daughter dies, son in law remarries and leaves house to new wife (your grandkids got Zero)
- son in law takes penalty and drains 529s for himself

There are many things that can happen. Ensuring the money doesn’t go where you won’t want it to is prudent and realistic. [/quote]

I agree with this PP. And I've seen these scenarios over and over again. If a divorce does happen,  the same parents will often  have to help out. Financial issues always ensue. The OP is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT  to consider options. [/quote]
