the courts lean if there is some question of accidental co-mingling if there is a divorce?

If you are married to someone at the time of their death and there is no will after everything goes to probate it comes to you {whatever remains} If you are divorced from someone and there is no will their closest living relative gets what is left after probate , usually a child or sibling {ex partners and spouses arent considered unless it says so in a will}. If say your husbands mother dies he will be the person getting the inheritance {unless the will says that you too shall recieve inheritance}if there is no will the deceased persons relative is entitled to it {not you} as it is not deemed community property or earned income.
My mother died unexpectly and after things went to probate her closest living relative got it {my father} had he too been deceased my sibblings and I would have gotten it and it would NOT be able to go to our partners. If you are so worried you will lose your inheritance you should have signed a prenup

- The appreciating asset argument is reasonable. So you should split the amount the house abroad "appreciated". So if it went from 250 to 300 - split the 50. PS: Even that is VERY generous, because you should really split the amount it went up ABOVE inflation. - Why couldn't your partner work the last five years? Seriously did they make every effort to work? Couldn't they find a place to work "off the books"? Or did they like being unemployed and having all that free time? Could they have done home improvements on the house to make it worth more? Life is way more than just about money. However life without money is a disaster. So what is your partners plan to build up assets other than taking half of yours? Most people with no assets want to spend money, but are not very interested in earning it.

Inheritance from one's family, shouldn't even be considered in a divorce settement, especially when that family wont involve the divorced partner...the people who brought the person into this world, had nothing to do with the other partner...that was divorced from....

i think you would want to share the inheritance with your partner..
i imagine if your worried about a divorce in the future maybe you can arrange some short of like prenup thing for it? :)

my understanding is if it is a gift to him, you have no part in it.
inheritance is a gift.
