Question:

My common law wife has told me that she wants to move on for the third time in 5 years. I want to make it work, but this time I think she is having an affair and don't think I can do it anymore.

I put her through college, we own two homes, have one son together, and I have raised her other son for 12 years. I desperately want to keep this house to raise our boys in, but I can't afford it on my own. She has said that I can have both kids. She inherited 120 acres of farmland in Minnesota that is split betwen her and her older brother. Would I be entitled to 1/2 of her share? If so, I think I could keep the house and the boys.  This would enable me to potentially begin moving forward.

Question:

When my mother and father separated, my father was court ordered to continue making payments on the house. He did not make payments and my mother was forced to take a loan out to pay off the house. She died before the divorce was final and now my father wants to sell the house.

The deed was in both names, which I found out the hard way that the deed overrides her will. The thing is that he stopped making payments on the house against court orders and she paid off the house.

 What action can I take to stop him from selling the house or be awarded 50 percent of the house as per her will or 50 percent of the selling price of the home?

Question:

I realized recently that I received no money from the sell of the house that my ex wife and I lived in while married. My name was not on the loan for the home. The loan was in my ex wife's name and her mother was the co signer.

Should I have still received 50% of the money received from the sell of the house?
