Absolutely she can.
Everyone is so against pre-nuptual agreements when the fact of the matter is, if you don't have one, you agree to the Pre-Nuptual that is set up by the state in which you marry/divorce.
You entered into a legal agreement (aka contract) when you married. Marriage is the only contract people enter into without reading it first.
I guess that pre-nuptual isn't such a bad idea now is it? Sorry, buddy. She's probably got a good lawyer and she can go after anything you have. Look before you leap next time. is it not considered non marital assetts ?? - john

Answer 1I am not an attorney, nor in the legal profession, so until this answer can be improved by a professional, it will have to be considered incomplete. You have to find out what the law[s] is in the state of your legal residence. I recommend contacting a local attorney, or if money for fees is a limiting factor, then possibly your local community service legal aid society.Generally, regardless of marriage status, an inheritance is considered separate and not community property, and therefore is NOT subject to any claim by a spouse.Again, it is imperative that you find out what inheritance and divorce law for your state of residence is.
