Under the law if anything happens to your husband, you will inherit 1/4 of his estate anyway. How selfish of him and that is how second marriages are most of the time. If I were you I would seek the advice of a lawyer and get his professional advice. If you feel the marriage is on the skids, then I would file for divorce and then he will have to pay alimony to you. Serves him right. This is a one sided marriage with you on the low end of it. If I were you, I would divorce and move on. You are 53 which is still young and maybe you can find happiness yet in your life.

I would not worry about who is his benificiaries at this moment. i would concentrate on having a better relationship with your husband. try sharing good moments with him. Doing stuff with him. Have a good relationship and share what time you have with each other. If it gets unbareable then you can always leave him. But if you and your husband grow together as you enjoy what life you have together before he passes then there is a great possiblity that he will include you into his will to give you more then you expect. But don't stay with him if he is too abusive. Just be a good wife, laugh, have fun and maybe it will bring the fun out in him.

Go to the library and check into the inheritance laws for that state.

Put this question in the legal section of answers if you want a professional answer. however because your are married you can take a life insurance policy out on him.

You may get something out of it if he does divorce you, but it sounds like he was quite well off before he met you.
