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?

Question:

My wife’s mother died last year and left her with a substantial inheritance. We also own a home together where I am on the deed, but not on the mortgage. Am I entitled to any property or a portion of my wife’s inheritance if we get a divorce?

Question: I have been supporting my family for 26 years. I'm currently facing bankruptcy, foreclosure, and a pending divorce. The question is timing.
