What is the name of your state? TX
This is a unique problem that fits more than one catergory.
Part 1
I have a friend who has been having trouble in the marriage. She will get an inheritance of quite a bit after inheritance tax. The info was left in her name only, and the date of the will was updated since they were married. She wants to take the money and leave. I told her, I am not sure but I think it would be divided in court. She said it was in her name only so it wouldn't matter. Other family members and their spouses were named and some were named solely for the amount listed. Will it be divided in court?
Part 2
My friend feels that it is all hers, and in thinking that she wants to offer her husband a portion to sign over his parental rights. I think it is insane, the kids need both their parents, but she has her reasons. I think that this is (most likely) illegal, and if he did agree wouldn't that be signing under duress, or black marketing your own kids from spouse?? I am really confused and her logic escapes me. Please help me so I get help get her head out of the dirt, before she goes to far and possibly loses all together.
I decided to put this in both catergories, I would really like to help my crazy friend. She isn't normally crazy, but with this I am beginning to wonder. I know this must sound completely absurd, I have neved thought anyone would have such a thought, but apparently at least on person does. I would appreciate any help I can give her.
Thank you.
