ExP died a year ago. We have a DS together. He always paid maintenence.
We had to involve the solicitor to see the will as ExP family said there was nothing in it - I didn't think this was true because ExP had told me that in the event of him dying our DS would be looked after.
The will stated that DS would inherit 80% of the estate (which involved a property). The trustees of the estate told me that it is being held until DS is 18 and I have no right to ask/claim for maintenance from the estate. My solicitor told me that I can make a claim if I need things like a new school jumper etc. Is this right?
Sorry for way I have written the OP, I have tried to just put down the bare facts as I know them and leave out any emotion.
Can anyone please advise me on this please? DS was ExP's only child.
