Re: inheritant
If you get divorced, your inheritance is your personal, not martial property. You need to be careful to not mix the money with her into a joint account or in any way create the impression that you have, prior to divorce, made a gift of some or all of it to her, as that will covert it from your personal, seperate property to marital.
