Re: estate money

Ordinarily inheritances are not marital property, that is, they belong to the person who inherited it. As to homes, names aren't particularly important; what is important is whether the home was acquired during the term of the marriage, and how it has been paid for.

Bottom line: Divorce is complicated, particularly when children and property are involved. You should contact an attorney in your area for help with your case.
