Not unless there is more to this story than your partner is telling you.

The basic answer is 'no', BUT it can result in an increase in child support because it’s counted as an increase in his income. In some states the actual inheritance itself is counted as income, and in others only the interest/income earned from the inheritance is counted as his income.
Confusing? Yes. Talk to a local attorney. It’s going to depend on the laws of your state, the amount of the inheritance, rather it will result in interest/income being earned, etc.

I wouldn't think so. I would think that it would have to be in the divorce decree. Could she try and come after it, yes. Will she get it ... depends on your state and how good your lawyers are. Perhaps he should offer to set aside some for the kids college fund. That might stave off any "shots across the bow."

No she is not entitled to any inheritance after the divorce UNLESS it is written in the divorce papers..

Not likely that she would get it, but if she is like our ex, it wont keep her from trying. Ours tried when all we got was a chair and a cutting board!

No I don't think she can get any of this money. I don't think after 2 year she should expect any money.

No, she is not entitled to any of it unless he owes her money. Any money he gets after the divorce is his. He could win the lottery and she couldn't get any of it.

If he doesn't owe any money for anything concerning her no she can't touch it. However if he does owe any amount she will do everything she can to empty his pockets.

as long as he's current with his child support, then that would be a "no"

many times people forget to change the life insurance beneficiary, so she could get that if it wasnt changed
