kaitlin: My father was not in good health when my ex filed. He gave me some money to help pay for the Lawyer. During the divorce process, my husband was cut off from my family money by a Trust and my brother who is a spokesperson/advocate for the family involving the Trust. I live in MA and he did not get any of my Dad's inheritance after he died and after the divorce was final. Money matters are handled by a Lawyer and belong in the divorce agreement. Discuss this with a Lawyer like the other poster said.
