Sugaree, When my ex passed away he left my second son, his natural son with me an inheritance and left my older son, his step son nothing. My second son KEPT all the money and there were no hard feelings. (I guess) Hey I wanted to tell you that if you were married to this guy for 10 or more years you are entitled to Widows benefit Social Security. I get $753.00 because I was married to #2 for over ten years even thought we were divorced 14 years before he died. Check it out if you were married for 10 or more years. It came as quite a nice surprise to me and you can still earn $12,000. besides and there are no taxes on the Soc. Sec. benefits. I have been getting mine now since 2001 and will continue to get them even if I remarry OR until I apply for retirement, then I can take whichever is higher....Good luck and forget that witch and her kids, worry about you and your kids....They are not family. There his mistake not yours.
Call Soc. Sec. for details @1/800/772-1213
