Re: divorce
I just reviewed your question. It appears you are generally concerned about the involvement of your son's mother-in-law in his divorce proceeding. First, the fact that the mother-in-law is "advising" her daughter what to do in the divorce is not necessarily illegal, or unusual. The fact that your son's wife wants everything is also not unusual. Merely asking for "everything" does not mean she will get it. Your son's wife, like any other litigant, will have to produce some evidence in support of her claims. Finally, it makes no difference who earned the most money during the marriage. This is generally irrelevant in a divorce proceeding.
It sounds to me that your son needs a lawyer. If you have further questions or concerns, contact my office.
