The handling of inherited assets does not change in a divorce when the non-relative spouse seeks to claim the property. Since inheritance is exempt from equitable distribution, whatever a person inherits would be theirs no matter who they are, so long as the inheritance is not commingled with marital assets. The only thing that would be attributed to the analysis is if they inherit a large sum of money, get dividends on it or invested it, and it threw off a certain amount of money that could be counted as income for purposes of analyzing alimony and child support.
