Hello,
I broke up with my domestic abuser a while ago. When I went back to get my things, he said he would keep me on his annuity/retirement fund in which I told him to keep his filthy money as I did not want it. He said he wouldn't do it. From what he told me a long time ago, his son would receive 75% of the funds, while I would recieve 25%, which according to him, was enough for a down payment of a house.
Now, my life, that he has threaten to harm on one-too-many occasions, is not worth $20-30,000. I am more interested in cutting off all ties and investing in my happiness. Also, his son is a drug addict/dealer and a very manipulative person. I want no future contact with my ex or his son. Since my abuser is also an alcoholic and a gambler, I am hoping he spends all the money before he dies, but in the off-chance he doesn't, what are my legal options? Can I force my abuser to take my name off his fund?
Or, if I cannot do that,
Can I avoid going to court with his son over my portion of the money by saying I don't want it? Would I be responsible for any legal/court fees if I go this route?
Or, can I simply ignore the fund/his lawyer's petitions to contact me?
To my knowledge, there is no trust or will stipulating anything related to this fund. I believe he filled out the fund's basic inheritance form.
I appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you.
