Dividing up estate if DH dies

A little over a week ago my DH and I got into a discussion about a will. He currently does not have one and I feel it is important to have especially when you have children. Anyway in the course of the discussion he told me that he will get a will and everything including the house will be divided into thirds. I will get one third SD9 will get 1/3 and SS12 will get 1/3. I asked is that how your dad has it set up to be divided equally amoung you and your siblings and mother? He goes that is different mom will not screw us out of what is ours.

Question

I was looking into Child Support laws in our state as BM is taking DH back to court for more support. I found out he is already paying too much as they have always gone off his gross and not net income. That was good and then I found out today that "gifts" his parents give us have to count towards his income. DH's parents are very generous and very well off. They have given us over $6000 in the past 3 months, and they do this for all of their children. Have any of you heard of this or know how to make it so the money we get from them (last year was nealry $10000)will not go to the BM?

BM is too much

BM recently announced she is getting married this summer. We were thrilled with the news then the skids started talking. They said that BM is getting married but her and new SF will not live together. They will keep seperate homes. Also she is going to keep her current last name (same as ours and the skids) and only use his last name if she is pulled over or would get in trouble. They plan on getting married in Vegas and take the skids on the honeymoon so they do not have to sleep together. We decided to ask if what the skids was saying was true as we found it hard to believe.

In Laws are Coming

My in-laws are coming for the weekend. I do not mind when they come and have often told them they are welcome anytime. I feel it is important for SD9 and SS12 to have a good relationship with them. I have always gotten along with them. Then the past few times I have seen them my Mother-in-law brings up BM. She always asks how she is, which I have never minded because I feel the Skids need to feel free to talk about her in front of me. About 6 weeks ago we were all together and she brought up DH and BM's wedding. She talked about how beatuiful it was and how perfect.

Finances going to Ex

The BM has been on my husband about settling up the finances that she feels she is owed. BM sent several spread sheets for 3 years of stuff she feels she is owed for. My husband has sat down and gone through all receipts she has and made his own spread sheets. She did not like them and redid hers claiming he owes her over $9000! She has not paid him for the house and that bill alone is over $10,000. She was suppose to have it paid to him by the end of January 2009. She also never paid him for the van she got in the divorce. She claims that she did yet has no documetation.
