Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Mother-in-law seeking claim in property settlement
My mother-in-law is seeking pay-back for money she has given us over the course of the years we were together for various reasons. Items include money to help purchase a home, money to payoff credit cards...etc. The money was given to ''help'' us with no arrangements for payback ever outlined. There is no written agreement that these items were a loan. Now that we are getting a divorce, she wants to reduce the amount of the equity settlement I am due by what she's given us in the past. Does she have any grounds to do so?

Re: Mother-in-law seeking claim in property settlement
The mother-in-law has no grounds, but the wife, her daughter, may be able to get the court to allow her to recover some or all of the money that was given by her mother during the marriage.
