Honoured your vows..... so now you know all about their marriage breakdown as well?

How about he hasn't honoured being a father and providing for his children?

OP was talking about the fact they were still married.

i said that i doubt in 8 years they have honoured those vows (nothing to do with the breakdown, but rather the aftermath) - so morally questionable to claim that she considers them married still on any practical level

You see , op specifically asked not to mention morals this word must cause her allergy .
op , what do you want ? If you after information and tips how to get money of someone else's deceased parents then you may well ignore our remarks on morals. If you are after approval that what you think of doing is good - you are not going to get it from me and many others. Just read whar people say about wife in jack's thread , and thats during divorce. Imagine what they would said if she was trying to get something from him 8years later. If your children believe they entitled to something they can claim themselves , no need to use them to build your case.

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

So he's actually a tax evader aswell and you didn't bother going through the csa or even bother reporting tax evasion?

:wall:

The courts (in divorce) don't look at the morals of it. It's a cold, legal assessment of a suitable asset split based on English law (in Scotland inheritance is excluded unless touched by the marriage and the marital assets are based on an agreed date of separation, not the court date).

The court doesn't care who you slept with or how nasty a person you are. Whether your grounds for divorce are adultery or leaving the toilet seat up, the settlement will be the same.

The courts do look at the practical arrangements for the previous 8 years though.

And whilst they dont look at who was morally right, the OP was trying to maintain the moral high ground....

Think I would ask what he intended to give his kids from his inheritance. If his answer was nothing then I would tell him I would be divorcing him and requesting half his assets.
Worth a try, might worry him enough to give them something.
I don't blame the OP trying to get something for her children.

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

no problem, and don't worry about Guest101, he's known in these forums as a fool and lives up to his name.

When you say due an inheritance soon what do you mean exactly and how do you know what he is due?
