Two years ago I inherited monies from my father at the time of his death. The money was deposited into a joint acct with both my H and my names on the acct. Only inheritance money has been deposited in this acct. My WS is in the midst of an A but still living at home. In the event of a divorce is he entitled to half of this money? Would I have to prove that it was actually inherited?

Loving
Not a lawyer but I can tell you that you don't have enough information for anyone to tell you what to do.
Where do you live is the most important question. Each state has different laws etc. They are very complicated to say the least.
Your best bet is not to get advice her but to find a lawyer in your area. They usually have low or no cost initial consultations Find out that way.
With that being said why are you giving up already? Have you even tried Plan A. Read through this site and see if you can save your marriage first.

Regardless of whether you have to split the inheritance with him, get it out of that joint account RIGHT NOW! Your H could get it and spend it without your knowledge. Open a separate account in your name only and deposit exactly the inherited amount.
disclaimer - I am not an attorney, but I'm confident that the advice above is sound.

I've previously posted under the topic Someone to talk to
I have spent hours and hours on here reading.
I am Plan Aing although not so well. A has been exposed but it continues right under my nose with no secrecy or denials anymore whatsoever.
I've read HNHN, SAA, and currently reading LB and have ordered Dobson's book Love is Tough.
I'm not giving up just yet but wondering if there's any hope. Feel like a doormat. Just trying to get my ducks in a row, etc in case he decides to move out which has been discussed. At the last minute he decided to remain in our home if i would allow it which of course i did.

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news so here is a link. http://www.divorcesupport.com/divorce/What-if-I-put-the-inheritance-into-our-joint-1272.htmlI would take it out now though. Because it is a joint account he can withdrawl from it.
