Good for your mom. You should be proud of her, and I hope you tell her that. You know all the facts in her case - will you conceed that you don't in this one? With kutulu's post, it's sounding more and more like the asshole in this story is the deceased. I read the brief, and the guy doesn't sound like a very nice guy, at least as far as his treatment of his exwife is concerned.
Finally, it really doesn't matter who's nice and who's not. The decree is the decree and it says what it says. The heirs just have sour grapes, but that's really too bad for them. If their father had signed a contract stating that he would fund something in perpetuity, they would be stuck then too. If he had made a provision for it in his will, they'd be stuck too. I'm sorry that they're kids and they loose out on their father's legacy (let alone his presence in their lives), but this is the reason that contracts and decrees exist.
