As a general rule, an inheritance is deemed to be separate not marital property. Consequently, it would not be subject to division as per a divorce settlement. However, to the extent that spouse and/or child support is being requested, it may count in the calculation of just how much support your soon-to-be-ex can afford to pay. At this point you should consult directly with a divorce attorney in your area (if you don't already have one).

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
