Settlement $ after divorce

[Penny45]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

My husband and I have agreed on divorce. We are still living together and no paperwork has been filed yet. His mother is receiving a large settlement from a lawsuit. She is having the settlement money disbursed legally among her children. Am I entitled to any of that money if we divorce before he receives the money?

The site eats previewed posts. It's an undocumented feature.

You are not entitled to any of that money whether you divorce before or after it is received; it is a gift to him and him alone.

Why would you be "entitled" to it?

Well isn't she the mother's daughter in LAW?
