My husband is due some money from an inheritance and has already made a change (a deed of variation) whereby we can give some money to our children from this inheritance. Our son, unfortunately has decided that his marriage is not working and has seperated from his wife. They only got married a year ago. Our dilemma is whether it is right to go ahead and give him some money? In the sad case of them deciding to divorce would she be able to claim any of this money in a settlement?

If he has left his wife after just a year, don’t assume that she will let him have a divorce, she might make him wait for 5 years.

He doesn't have to wait 5 years if he can go with unreasonable behaviour and cute exampkes.

Not cute examples.

Catlover123. Put the money into a Trust Fund in your sons name, thus will protect it from any potential claims from his wife or anyone else. Your son is the only one who can access this money.
