Ask A Divorce Lawyer: What rights do I have to inherited property?

Posted by pmcmahon in Steven Lee Akins Jr. , Rules , Property , Procedures , inheritance , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My wife and I have been married for 17 years, but we have now been separated, though not legally, for three years. During this time, I’ve paid all bills, tuition and support, and been able to see my kids every weekend since. My wife recently inherited a home from a deceased grandfather and now lives there. Do I have any legal rights in regards to this property since we are still legally married? Can I use the inherited house as leverage to retain my retirement?
