Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
Converting
My boyfriend has been legally seperated for 7 years from his wife in Maryland. He lives with me in Missouri. He has acquired a large trustfund recently and has made me the beneficiary of everything he owns by making a will. He has a teenage daughter. Should he convert the seperation into a divorce, will the wife or child be entitled to anything since the seperation already excluded each of the parties from an interest in the other's assests? Should he wait until the child is 18 to file to make sure the assests can be his alone? If the seperation is converted, do all assests as of this date need to be disclosed and can the seperation agreement be changed by the divorce? How can he file a conversion of a seperation agreement that was made in Maryland when he lives in Missouri?
Does everything in the seperation agreement stand no matter what?

You have domestic and estate planning
issues. Normally inherited property is not subject to division in a divorce. A divorce would be recommended as well as a trust or revised will.Feel free to contact me for help I have 33 years of legal experience and am located in Clayton.
