Washington, DC asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Puerto Rico

Q: Ex wants see ex-in-laws will, there's no will, want declaration of heirs, nothing for her, do I have to show it?

Ex-spouse wants to see ex-in-laws will but there's no will, now she wants to see the declaration of heirs, nor her nor the children are mentioned in it nor did they inherit anything, do I have to provide it? Me and my siblings don't want to as it is none of her business, we divorced in NJ and she lives there, but I don't. I pay child support and medical expenses for the children, she won't follow the divorce decree when it concerns her but takes me to court every time she doesn't like my answers to her requests. We had a hearing last year and the court lowered my CS because of my financial circumstances and she was furious. She showed my children every motion and court order that has been presented in court during the last 2 years and now they won't talk to me as she convinced them I don't care for them, and that is definitely not true. Please advise.

A: Good evening and thank you for using JUSTIA. Your parents estate would not have any thing for them since they are not the inheritors. They have no legal right to receive a copy. Now what you can do is file a motion in the NJ court requesting visitation rights and explain to the court what your ex has done to your children.

A: Good evening and thank you for using JUSTIA. Since your children are not the direct inheritors they do not have a right to be notified nor receive a copy. As for your dilema with your children , you should file a motion in NJ court requesting visitation rights and explain what your ex has done to the children. Good luck.
