Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
My dad left when I was little. He tried to find me a couple of times, but family kept information from him to keep him away.
I found out last year that he died in 2005. I have recently spoken to my dad's family. He was married, but seperated from his wife, not legally though. No one could prove anything. She took everything he had, would not let his family on the property and threatened to have them arrested if they tried. He had a large life insurance policy, as well as a business, a home, and numerous vehicles.
She took everything.
My dad's family is now wanting me to try to get the money that I am entitled to being his only child. Is this even possible?
I wouldn't even know where to start.
