OK guys this will be my last post since everything I say seems to be taken out of context. The money was not left to my daughter as a "when she gets a certain age she will inherent this amount" It was left in my name, as a way to take care of her. Medical care, school, clothes, dance lessons if she wanted them. That sort of thing. The same thing that a father of divorce would pay as child support. He knew that he would not be there if she needed anything. I was the one that decided that I wanted her to be able to count on it for her future. And she can. I don't have to sell our home to give her the money. She has been home schooled or in private schools all through high school. Art school, she has no student loans, owes nothing. Nice car, & join ownership in the business that the two of us run. She can have anything that I have and knows it, all she has to do is say so. I just don't feel she should be made to share profits with my current husband made on anything he had no part it buying. Maybe my first post should have explained more, but I didn't want to write a book and felt I had stated my question well enough.
