Folks,
We got some really disturbing news yesterday. My husband's stepmother has decided she's going to sue him for all the gifts his father gave him while he was alive (he passed in November 08).
We consulted with a lawyer who basically told us this was "pathetic and ridiculous" that you can't sue for gifts given, but also indicated that it might not stop her from trying to pursue the case.
The reason for doing this was quite sinister - my husband's real mother (divorced from his father some time ago) has a claim on the estate that is legitimate and is going to court now. We know this is a scare tactic to try and get her to back down, but she really can't afford to do that. Nor do we think she should.
However, I am 6.5 months pregnant and my husband is quite ill and we really don't need this in our lives right now. I consulted the iChing and have received 39 unchanging, which appears to mean - you're blocked, chill out and wait. I am interpreting that as, no amount of trying to get the stepmother to stop this will work, we just need to wait and see if she files and then hire a really great lawyer to stop this in its tracks.
Thoughts?
MM
