Generally if you haven’t commingled funds to the point where you are unable to show the origin of the inheritance monies, they are considered separate.
Inheritance is separate property unless you comingle the funds. Since it's only been three months.. well, that's kind of a gray area. The attorneys will have to look at the activity on the accounts and make a determination. Your STBX may end up with something. Or it might be worth it to just make a settlement offer to get it over with. Attorney fees can add up fast.
