No one assumes the responsibility for ongoing support payments. If there are back monies owed, a claim can be made against his estate. That will have to be resolved prior to inheritances being distributed.

Workers comp settlement during divorce I received half of my ex husbands workers comp settlement as part of our divorce Do I need to claim this on my taxes?
The general rule would be that a settlment that is to replace income (compared to reimbursing for a loss of something, say eyesight), is taxable income. (Presumably on the grounds that the income it is compensating for would have been taxable, where as reimbursement for a loss wouldn't be). Certainly best to see the specifics of this settlement. I don't believe the fact half of it is assigned to you is really relevant.

Can a wife file for an uncontested divorce without husbands signature in virgina when they have been separated for 2 years?
You can file for divorce without a spouses signature. However, uncontested means that both parties have agreed on the terms of the property settlement and that the court does not need to make the award. For this, you will need a signed Settlement Agreement filed along with your Complaint for Divorce. You cannot do this without her signature.If she is missing, you may file for divorce, and if she is unable to be located within a certain amount of time, you may serve her by publication. After that, you would have a trial (without her) where the judge would order the divorce and distribute the assets and debt, and order custody/child support.If she is present and simply refuses to sign anything or agree to the terms you are offering, it is a standard contested divorce.Answeryes, but the wife has to be missing (or unable to be located) for a specific amount of time

If your ex husband files bankruptcy and you have a mortgage together that you have paid since the divorce and got in the divorce is this going to affect you?
Check with your divorce attorney for exactly how shared debts were apportioned in the settlement - but - if he filed for bankruptcy AFTER the divorce was final, no, it shouldn't affect you. I would, however, contact your mortgage company and notify them of the fact, unless it is stated otherwise in the divorce settlement, that he no longer has an "interest" in the house. The Deed and other legal home ownership papers should also reflect this as well. You had better check with your divorce attorney - all these things SHOULD have been taken care of at the time of the settlement. You may also want to get a copy of your credit report just to make sure that HIS debts, incurred AFTER the divorce, are not appearing on your record.
When you go into mediation on a property settlement dispute and my attorney did not have the info from the other lawyer am I liable to pay when we were not able to proceed?
Yes, every time you call or talk to a lawyer they will bill you. Every time they show to a court date, meditation,or meeting they will bill you. When I got my divorce I would not call my lawyer because he would bill me if I did. I mailed him questions or comments. I wanted to keep the cost down as much as I could.
Can a divorced spouse claim ex-husband's property after his death if there was a property settlement during the divorce?
It depends on the specific terms of the property settlement and any subsequent agreements or court orders. Generally, if the settlement specified that the divorced spouse relinquishes any claim to the ex-husband's property after his death, they would not be able to claim it. However, if the settlement did not address this issue or if there were changes made to the agreement afterwards, it is possible that the divorced spouse could still claim the property.
