    Did they agree an amount of money or a percentage of her assets? If the former then I don't think he has any further claim

    It will depend on individual circumstances however my ex sister-in-law received an inheritance in the gap between separating and the divorce going through and the judge ruled that it was not part of the assets to be shared In the financial settlement.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    as the money was not known at the time the financial agreement was granted, there may be a claim but it is not a significant amount of money so all the husband can have is £5k, and that amount may not be considered significant enough to allow a claim.

    as it isn't a huge sum of money, the husband may not bother to claim anyway as the legal costs of doing so means there will be even less to come his way.
