Inheritance

Inheritance is usually considered separate unless you commingle the money with marital money.

Why would you be entitled to a portion of something that was directed to her?

Huh? I'm not sure what you might be referring to. In the mediation for the separation document/divorce doc we went over life insurance.

That aside, we are splitting up the property. She had a bit of a 401k her mother left her, which is an inheritance of sorts, but that all went to her.

No. If she hadn’t received it yet why would you be entitled to it?

i wasn't entitled to my ex's. Her grandparents died when we were married. During the divorce since she kept it in a separate account it wasn't included in the divorce. Your friend might've decided to give his ex a portion of it to lessen alimony or child support.

Thank you, I have a friend that practices family law, I’ll check with him as well. He’s been supportive and suggested being fair to process the divorce without lawyers and only a mediator if necessary

Something to keep in mind. If bankruptcy is in the future get help/advice from someone qualified. Your own 401(k) is protected but an inherited 401(k) is not.

It very much depends on which country you live. Or, more importantly, the country you get divorced in.
