I wouldn't because if marriage entitles one to half, then 10 years definitely qualifies. AND if you ever get married and divorced you can pay it forward.

Another thing to consider... You paid an inheritance tax on that money and if you give it back to him... he'll pay a gift tax. By the time it's said and done, the government would've recieved over half.

Because it was an inherited IRA there was no tax. Also, the Gift Tax applies to $10,000 and over I believe.

Still... There's no moral obligation. Even prenuptual agreements are null and void after a given period of time. (5 years?)

Regardless of reasons for the marriage, 10 years consitutes half no question.

If there wasn't a gift tax, it would be too easy to cheat your taxes.

You can have up to $10,000 in "gifts" per year tax free. After that I believe you pay normal income tax.

Honestly, I don't see why you would want to give the money back to him. 10 years cooking, cleaning, etc (especially in financial hard times) entitles you to some money. I could see if he was rich when they got married it being a diff situation tho...

I would keep the money for sure.

i'm really going to have to disagree with you on this as being the end-all-to-be-all answer in financial matters. in the cases of marriages, it is often better for the family when the spouses partake in role specialization - meaning one earner and one homemaker (regardless of gender) especially if kids are involved. i'm guessing kids were not involved in this case since you're like mid twenties yourself.

regardless, she was the homemaker. she provided mental/emotional/physical support for this guy through his hard times. she was most certainly entitled to alimony to help her financially deal with reentering the labor market, maintaining her lifestyle, etc. it was her money, money she deserved for helping him get to where he did. in my humble opinion, it seems it would be a bit insulting to her memory to suggest otherwise.

i'm not judging though. these are just my personal opinions on the matter of alimony and divorce settlements.
