Do all of you that answered my question into whether or not I would be entitled to make a claim on my ex husbands inheritance, realise that my ex husband was a wife battering bastard who didn't really give one iota about his parents? You should not judge a person until you know the full facts.

You were judged on the facts you provided.
If this man is a wife battering bastard, you would be wise to stay out of his life and keep him out of yours. How much is your safety and well-being worth?
Seems you are awfully invested in this relationship which allegedly ended 10 years ago. He's a bastard, but you're the one still trying to make him miserable a decade later?
Here's a tip- self-respect is free

Most states are no fault states (meaning the Court does not care what either spouse did to the other, no matter how horrendous) and additionally in most states, an inheritance is the receiving spouses sole and separate property, i.e. you can't get any of it. However, there may be an exception to such in your state. I recommend that you contact an attorney to discuss this issue. It may be worth a small consultation fee to get this information and to quell your thoughts. Good luck.

Because there is no will, the estate will go to probate court. You have the right to fight for what you believe you are entitled. Technichally, the estate will go to the closest living relative. You need an attourney who works with wills. You have no rights until you can establish them with the use of a lawyer. There is a radio show by a guy named Bruce Williams, he can put you in touch with someone reputable in your area. Remember that the laws are different in each state.

That doesn't change the fact that you are still not entitled to his inheritance. Only that you were a poor judge of character when you married him.

I didn't answer your previous question because you had already received the correct answer.
Under law, you have no claim as you have no further legal relationship. Even if he had been given the money while you were married it is still considered separate property.
Now, if you don't like that answer well then go pay your own attorney. I have 35 years of legal practice and I don't mince my words.

once divorced you are no longer legally entitled to make a claim to his or his family's estate that should have been mentioned in your papers when drawn up at the time

How does that make you entitled to his family's money if you are divorced? Be glad you are out of the situation. Move on.

Still doesn't make a difference.
You still look like a money grubbing biotch who is willing to drag her ex's name through the mud so she looks better.
Remember nothing is stopping you from "stretching the truth"

That is old news unfortunantly. You are entitled to nothing. I wish we could sue ex's for cheating, and abuse but our laws do not allow it. Be glad you got away from him and go on with your life.
