Inheritance when separated , could I claim ?

ftb2015

My ex has paid nothing for our daughter for 4 years, she's only 12. If he came in to money at any stage during her childhood I wouldn't pursue any of it unless my child was starving or about to be homeless and it was my only option. Its like that woman sueing her millionaire ex for retrospective child care, it's not right.

Thank you all for your comments to my question , although I do think some have taken it the wrong way .
IM NOT asking for the money for myself , I wanting financial support for HIS children as he hasnt /wouldnt support them previously .
As I said earlier , I didnt go to the CSA as he was UNDER the radar ....IE NOT working or claiming benefits ......just doing cash in hand work & spending it ALL down the blooming pub !!!!!
Thank you to the poster who actually said , But this person is not wanting the inheritance just because, the op is wanting it to finally have some support which she has not had. This money is for the children, he helped create them therefore should provide for them.... 8 years later or 8 minutes later it's irrelevant

And technically we are still married ......I wonder if I won the lottery would he want some ..? Id say yes he would !!! ......

Interesting views , so thank you once again

The important fact here is you are still married. So therefore, if you were to divorce your wife, your inheritance will form part of the family finance pot to be divided.

Just found this from another thread on this website ......

In my eyes asking for inheritance of a spouse let alone a spouse you split with 8 years ago is not right to say the least. So my answer be "no you should not".

you're probably the OPs other half sitting down the pub while typing this on your new 'cash in hand' bought laptop....

OP, ignore the 'arm chair critics' on this thread who have no clue.....I would take him for as much as you can.

so once again thank you for your understanding on this matter :-)

So it's money for you more than them. And since theyre adults, if he wants to give them money he can. Why would you get the physical money. If you sue, presumebly you'll expect the payout to go straight to them?

Oh wow, you found one person saying one thing? Well done.

It's about marital assets. You haven't had a proper marriage. You've been seperated 8 years.

In that time have you been celibate? - or would adultery go on the certificate?

"Oh but we were seperated, so it's not cheating..."

Can you afford to fight him and his new wealth?

And this type of person is why Jeremy Kyle is loaded.

It's not easy posting anonymously online?

But you think it'll be easy to sue for his inhertitance?
