Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

My dad has 2 separate families: multiple children with my mom and multiple children with another woman. My mom has worked for my dad (they never married) for decades in his small business. All that time, she gained nothing from it (he didn't pay her, only allowed her to live in his house with me and my siblings). The business, the house we lived in, everything was under his name. My mom wants to sue my dad for half of everything they worked together to build because she thinks (probably accurately) that my dad will give everything to his other family and the other woman. What can my mom do?

Your mother should immediately contact an attorney to discuss the situation as it it a complex situation. if your father is married to the other woman then by virtue of the marriage she has legal rights that your mother does not have. In any event a consultation with an attorney would be beneficial.
