I just recently inherited a substantual amount of $ from a family member. My ex-common law wife found out about it and threatened to sue me for a peice of it, stating that she is entitled to a share. We were seperated for a long while before I inherited, I say that she is not entitled. P.S. I have full custody of our child, I told her to leave me alone or I would sue her for child support–this was just a scare tactic on my behalf–the $ is for the raising of my child and a good amount has already been put in a savings account for my child.
We are from a common law state and leagally seperated.
