Is the wife legally entitled to any of the inheritance since he inherited it while they were married?

She should get half of it.

Of course, she's legally entitled to something in virtue of being married. But she's only interested in "keeping things separate."

It's depends how much rent she is paying. If he dies she still gets the house (I assume).

We don't know this. But we have a good idea that she will be at a big disadvantage on recouping any equity if they divorce.Adding her name to the house recognizes her financial contributions to this. If they want to be weirdos about it, they could create a trust and assign her less than 50% ownership.

That's why I said assume. Also, 0 percent chance this broad ever grows the balls to divorce this jackwagon.

Wait, do some married people not have both names on the house?

I think maybe if your spouse has really bad credit but you have good credit, you might be able to get a more favorable loan by leaving your spouse off the title. Not sure about that, though.

why would you marry someone with bad credit?

Maybe if you didn't check their credit before marrying them?

Had a friend run into this....They get married and start looking to buy a house and the mortgage people were all like "Umm, she has 50k of credit card debt". He had no idea and apparently never asked before getting married and she never bothered to tell him. His dad had to talk him out of divorcing her right then....still married 5 years later.

Damn. $50k in credit card debt is enough to at least ponder a bankruptcy.

Holy crap. That's bad.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #609 on:** June 02, 2017, 05:29:56 PM »

Man what's the monthly interest payment on $50k, like 800 bucks a month?

chum1 · « **Reply #610 on:** June 02, 2017, 06:13:25 PM »

I wonder what she spent that much money on.

This whole joint account thing has opened Mrs. Wacky's eyes a bit. She finally notices how much more she spends vs myself. She tried to complain about the cost of my steak at the store yesterday and I lol'd, laughed, and said "really? You wanna go there?" She said: "You're right, never mind".

Brock Landers · « **Reply #614 on:** June 05, 2017, 10:30:55 AM »

You lol'd, then laughed?

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #615 on:** June 05, 2017, 10:35:21 AM »

Yeah, it was an amazing sequence. lol's are bigger than laughs. I was easing up from the lol.

I'm guessing it started audible then turned to a smiling internal chuckle.

Mom and dad had us over last night for brats and hamburgers.

It will be fine. We have a playful relationship. There honestly hasn't been any real problems.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #620 on:** June 05, 2017, 10:57:34 AM »

She just has higher priorities on certain things. Someone hit the back of my car in a parking lot or something and some of the paint is starting to chip on my 2014 Honda.

She like wants it replaced right away. I obviously think it can wait, the car is still really pretty, and we can touch that up on another day.

Hey wacky might be a good idea to check her winter coat pockets. She seems like the type to have a bunch of cash in there she forgot about.
