    What has that got to do with the thread?
    I just love the phsycing out going on, the law says that one can bequith to whom they wish, if this does not include offspring , then so be it, if you don't agree with the law then tough luck girls :o



    Well if you did have children you wouldn't need to ask that quesion

    i guess i would be the child in this case. but the child of the two no just the husband.

    i think you are all over looking our choice in the matter

    your presuming that your own children would not wish to share with their siblings. this may not be the case.

    I have a child ...somewhere :p
    I work hard and will leave any estate to whom I wish , the law dictates I can.

    "A party may challenge any aspect of the probate administration, such as a direct challenge to the validity of the will, known as a will contest, a challenge to the status of the person serving as personal representative, a challenge as to the identity of the heirs, and a challenge to whether the personal representative is properly administering the estate. Issues of paternity can be disputed among the potential heirs in intestate estates, especially with the advent of inexpensive DNA profiling techniques. In some situations, however, even biological heirs can be denied their inheritance rights, while non-biological heirs can be granted inheritance rights.

    If the child was still a child and CSA was being paid surely the RP would be informed.
    As for me though a catfight to get the money back of the mistress/new wife whatever she calls herself now would be enourmus fun. Just wondering if I can (sorry the children) can take her house, car, savings as they would be half owned by ex and needed to support his children. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not bitter then eh? What she calls herself? If they are married then she is his wife! I don't know the legalities of things, but I doubt you could get your mitts on her half of the house etc, I should imagine if he died first, and wills everything to her, then you might get, as has been said, the equivalent of CM, if there is enough in the estate, but I'm sure there are loopholes, and it's odds on a good lawyer would find them :D

    Bitter would be an understatement!!

    I hope there are loopholes in the law because people like pricessdreamer don't desreve anything!!

    I work hard to pay for kids upkeep, my husband does his best but he'll never earn what I do. We pay our CM always and on time. Why would either of his exe's think that if he died, they could take what I'VE built up for MY kids over the years.

    Pricessdreamer, you're sick, go out and get a job if you want the good things in life, and for gods sake GROW UP! He's not with you anymore, move on.

    Hi Molliejo

    Just curious – have you been able to draw up a will that protects your money from your Husbands biological children?

    Oh I will be but I normally like to try and get an idea of something first but I must confess I’ve found this one a bit difficult to research online.

    I understand that a provision would need to be made for a maintained child but don’t really understand how that provision is made. Whether it’s 15% of the Father’s estate (same amount of CSA liability) or what the Father would have had to pay up until the child reached 19.

    Say there was £100,000 in the Fathers estate……

    Option 1 would mean £15,000
    Option 2 (if liability was £50 per week for a 9 year old) would mean £26,000

    As you said all will become clear I’m sure on speaking to a solicitor.

    No and I wouldn't. We have him regularly and as far as I'm concerned any money would be split equally between our five kids (three to my ex, 1 to his ex and 1 of our own) I don't have a will as we have no assets or life insurance at the moment (we can't afford it) If we did I wouldn't treat our child any differently to my ex's kids or his exe's kids. The will would put the money in trust until their 21st birthday though. If he died before his son's 21st and CM had to be paid then it would come out of his trust. (If you could do that)
  • Some people have no sense of humour. If you could see my estate compared to ex and the tarts you would be laughing too. They can't even afford a lawyer let alone a good one. The only thing he has is what he got of me which is more than likely long gone. He does not work, he does not pay for his children, he is and always will be worth nothing. She is welcome to him as long as she enjoys sharing him with his other women and pushing out a few benefit babies.
    As for growing up 24/7 I provide EVERYTHING for our children and I work bloody hard.:D
    mortgage free by christmas 2014 owed £5,000, jan 2014 £4,170, £4,060, feb £3,818 march £3,399 30% of the way there woohoo
    If you don't think you can go on look back and see how far you've come
