reponse to lawrat...thank you
No sir.........the wealth is mine.........from MY parents...I didn't marry into it, but the state of PA, states that, in the event of divorce, inherited property is to be excluded from division......but, as for her mobile home and property (which she was living in when we met) do I have any rights, due to monetary input for 10 years, as to the property she owns.....we have her niece in there, renting it right now, and she doesn't ALWAYS have the rent on time, but we get it all, when she gets her income tax return..this has been going on since 96', and I object to my spouse throwing her out to make room for a druggie...kid or NO kid. The father is on drugs and he's their hero....we own 2 homes..paid for......he's just now buying a hud house....real fixer upper, and she had to relieve him if BACK child support for him to be able to do it. As far as throwing all his drug crap out.......he gets new stuff, brings it on back here, and goes again....and my wife argues that it's HIS room......a buddy of mine says I should wait till after his payday, then call the police, and have them come and search, and sieze....then pick him up too.....but this is a touchy subject, because then, I live in hell, with my spouse (whom I REALLY do love)....don't really want a divorce, just want her adult child to move out and get a life....he really WANTS a life........OURS...and what we can give him....not what he earns! And he threatens us....yes, even her......and intimidates us, causes screaming in this house......we jointly threw him out before, because he put his hands on his mother, in violence, when I was out on the road. That was just last year. Before he did that, he punched a hole in my newly remodeled hallway with his fist, and put his fist through my door, in the room he occupies, because he didn't get his own way ........ok....just got done reading this again, and you don't (or maybe you DO) need to know all this.....but the thing you need to know is that my wife came out of an abusive household...that's why she's so protective of her kids...but to a FAULT now...and I've tried to get her to council, but she says she's fine....but she's not fine.....not to allow the abuse and destruction to continue....she says it would be different if I had had children......but I would NEVER have taken all the garbage, nor would I continue to take it after adulthood.......this is starting to souond like a job for Geraldo, or Springer, isn't it? Sorry it's so long, just trying to understand my rights, and trying to establish what rights and grounds I have, as far as the mobile home is concerned. I don't want the niece out on the streets looking for a place.....she has children....and, I believe that I ought to have some sayso (even though my name isn't on the place), due to many thousands of MY dollars being put into it over the years.....she was having the electric turned off, repossessed, and sheriff saled for taxes, when we met...but now all free and clear. I drive a semi truck.....and she owns her own beauty shop.....and there were years that she didn't work at all...she still doesn't have to, but I signed papers at the bank so she could build...guess question is this...........do I have ANY rights at all to say who will be living in that mobile home? And, even though I had her name put on my inheritance....does she really have more rights than me to say whether or not the "child" lives here? I had the option NOT to put her name on anything, then simply "will" it out, but chose to share my life with her......now it's complicated. Also need to add that my wife is afraid of this child....he is a violent.....well, maybe I'll get lucky and he'll hit me again, and I'll be able to give him a warm place to be, where he'll be fed everyday, and won't have to do anything! My wife fears that too....I just had a cataract operation on my eye, and she's scared that he'll injure me for life, if I try to take any action. That's why he gets away with so much.....he preys on fear. That all being said.......with a little more history....any other suggestions? Don't want him to starve, don't want him cold...but don't want him here! Thank you
