Can She Get 1/2 of the Increase in Value?
My question involves divorce in the State of: VA
I received a $500,000 inheritance when my dad passed away. I have been told that this money is not marital so long as I put it in a separate account - which I did.
My question is this - this nest egg has grown in value by almost $100,000. I am in the process of divorcing my wife but nothing is in writing at this time. Is she entitled to 1/2 of the increase in value?

Have you posed this question to your lawyer? You should.
It's my understanding that she has no claim to any part of that account, but you really need to ask your lawyer.

I agree with LRM. She is not entitled to the increase and you need an attorney.
