THE DETAILS

Julia B.-A year ago my ia.
ther died and left a will that
stipulated only a very small part
OF his estate was to go to me
as long as am married to my
husband.
My father was opposed to
my marriage to Dan because he
is Of a different faith. My father
was a very stubborn man ano
could not accept our marriage
at all. He kept urging me to
leave Dan and warned me that
he would cut me out of the will
I told him I didn't care, and Dan
laughed about it at the time
and said we didn't want his
money. anyway.
Now. however, Dan is very
keyed up about the whole thing
He feels that my brother should
have simply turned over the part
of the money that would have
been mine. He wants me to go
to court and contest the will on
the ground that my father was
not in his right mind. I don't
want this stigma on our family
and I am hurt that Dan should
want the money so much.
Dan B.-My wife has accused
me in the most sickening way OF
being money hungry" and mar
rying her for her fathers money.
The fact is that I feel the old
man was really not all there. He
not only opposed Julia's mar
rage to me, but broke up her
relationships with other young
men of her own faith.
I've talked the whole thing
over with Julia's brother and he
agreed with me that his father
had a warped mind and was al
ways cruel to Julia. But did he
offer TO give up one cent OF his
share of the estate? Not on your
life! Julia even admitted that
she expected he would share with
her and was quite disappointed
at his attitude.
I feel ! can make a satiSfac-
tory living for my family, but our
children have a right to this
money. I'm not asking for it for
myself. Julia should think of the
family we hope to raise.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
From the look of things, Julia
and Dan would have tough
fight on their hands if they were
to attempt to contest this will.
Julia's brother is obviously not
inclined to part with the money
that has come to him. Her faith
ef may have been stubborn and
cruel and a judge or jury may
sympathiZe with her. but it would
take a great deal more evidence
TO snow that TINS man was not
in his right mind when he made
the will.
There are, however, more i'm
portant factors involved = the
human ones. Julia does not want
the stigma of having her father
publicly declared out of his mind.
She probably also rejects the
idea of publicizing the family
problems and of a knock-down.
drag-out fight with her brother.
She also does not like her hus-
bands avid interest in this
money.
Her feelings in these matters
are obviously more important
to Julia than the money, and
her husband should respect
those feelings. Dan is now I'M
dermining his Wife's faith in him
