After paying on the house for more than 25 years my husband's parents died and left him some money that he used to pay it off. He met a woman online and left and went to live in Germany with her. He cashed out his pension, sold the vehicles, and Airstream trailer and thought that that money would hold him until he was able to get a job in Germany. Months later he had to return to the US cause he was unable to find work there. Now we are going through a dirvorce and he wants the house in exchange for a settlement of $12,000. The house is valued at $60.000. His lawyer says that he paid for the house with his inheritance. It seems that the implication is that the house has become a part of his inheritance. I know that inheritances are not subject to division in a divorce. I am unable to pay for a lawyer so i really need help before we go back to court. Since he paid for part of the house with inheritance money does that affect how it will be divided in a divorce? Thank you for any help you can give me. Susan
