Toadinthehole. We did give them a lump sum for their wedding so I am feeling disinclined to let half of it go to her. Also my son doesn't have much so would like to help him. I am thinking that we could stop this inheritance, (it is only a deed of variation as I said not something written into the will) and give him some money at a later date? I can't see how she could claim any of that if they are not together. I wish non of it was happening, but in the circumstances I look to my son's welfare as paramount.

Would you like her to have some? In which case, just give them half each. Otherwise, I’d talk to a solicitor. She may have a claim even after divorce, if the Will was dated before, but don’t know for sure.

Short answer - what’s his is also hers, now or when they divorce, unless they come to some agreement.

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?
