Guys I have an issue where I may be gifted some monies from a relative.

. Now I have beeen divorced for 11years and my ex wife has been remarried for 4 years . Off the top of my head I cant remember what our financial settlement was but will she be entitled to any of these monies ?

I will obviously be seeking legal advice on monday but I am stewing about this over the weekend .

Cheers
 
I am not a legal expert but I highly doubt she will be entitled to anything. Maybe if she had not remarried then she might have a claim.
 
I'm no expert either, but after 11 years and the fact that she has remarried should mean that she gets nothing.

BUT do you have kids as that might change things...
 
Even if she was entitled - how would she find out? (assuming its not some 7 figure sum and you go out and buy a mansion) Perhaps its better all round not to mention it to anyone regardless - I certainly wouldn't voluntarily tell her, for example, 'Great uncle Pete just gave me 50k as he's got no descendents and is headed to a retirement home soon' etc..
 
Was it a clean break? I think some women a year or two back got money off her x that way.
 
I highly doubt she has any rights, unless u have signed some wierd document when u were drunk giving her claims on everything for ever lol
 
I think that with no kids, her re-marrying is key here and probably removes any potential claim from her. Though deffo seek legal advice and also.... just try to avoid advertising the fact you've received some money - I think its a good thing in general to keep quiet to pretty much most people you know about your own financial position, any gains you make etc..
 
Clean Break or Deed of Separation is the key.

If she has since remarried, however she should lose all entitlement to spousal support. Spousal maintenance is evil! Guy on Mumsnet (hehe) paid his ex 600 a month for 10years!

Ive recently been released by the legal persecution agency (CSA) and as per some wonderful information from the internet will not be contracting with them again and will make my payments voluntarily based on my income.

Any chance you can direct me to this info - most distasteful organisation I have ever dealt with
 
Hopefully the new hubbies got a bit of sense and pride in him and tells her to forget about it, as he can take care of her.

I honestly think I would do that if my new wife's ex got some money. You just look like a complete saddo trying to snatch some of it.
 
It wouldn't make any difference family gifts remain on your side of the family during a divorce.

She wouldn't be entitled to any of it then or now.
