My guess is that since the funds were co-mingled, he lost any claim to the inheritance. At best (for him), he could get back some of that money after the house is sold, but how much he gets might depend on how long ago he paid the loan off. If recent, he might have a good claim to get it all...

If you are sure you are going to file, you may as well go on and see an attorney and get his opinion based upon your circumstances.

My guess is that your taxes would be a joint liability, but she might be quite happy to see you stuck with the larger bill. You may have to go back to court to get her to pay her equitable share. Your attorney should have recommended you consider income taxes as part of the divorce settlement...

I doubt that she would be able to force you to pay her back even half. If she is giving him money with no intention of being repaid within a year, the Statues of Fraud might apply which requires the agreement to be in writing if over $500. A Husband can certainly acquire debt that the wife...

Thanks so far. He claims I made a family loan and the money he has given me is for the repayment of that loan. He denies he agreed to give me stock - only to repay the "loan". He has pretty much paid me back what I have invested over the years, but he says that since we have no contract...

We live in Florida.

Ten years ago I gave my brother in law money to invest in stock of a company he works for. He has paid me some money back over the years, but we had an oral contract for him to give me stock and he never has. He is divorcing my sister and I fear he will stop paying me anything. He has not...
