It\u2019s been 5 years since my husband passed away, and I\u2019ve been raising our child on my own. Life as a single mom hasn\u2019t been easy, but we\u2019ve managed. Here\u2019s the shocking part: a few weeks ago, a woman came to my door with a kid and said, \u201cThis is your late husband\u2019s child.<\/p>\n

I want half of his estate.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first, I thought it was some kind of scam. My husband has been gone for years. But then she pulled out a DNA test and started making demands.<\/p>\n

I told her straight up, \u201cHalf of nothing is still nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The truth is, my husband didn\u2019t leave behind any estate. There was only one thing of value: a rental house his parents gave us years ago. Because it was in both our names, it automatically became mine when he passed.<\/p>\n

I already sold it, and that money is going toward my kid\u2019s college fund. I checked with a lawyer, and legally, I don\u2019t owe her or her child anything. But now people around me are saying I\u2019m being heartless and unfair.<\/p>\n

They think I should give the other child something. Honestly, I don\u2019t agree. I have to put my child first.<\/p>\n

Am I wrong for refusing to share, or is this mom just trying to cash in on a sad situation? Source: brightside.me<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
