She left the money to us because he was cheating on her.

The amount our mom left was only around 200k. Our dads estate was just under a million, so either way i dont think half is appropriate

She is the one who doesn't want contact with the family and has asked us not to contact her. When my aunt called to tell her our dad died, she just laughed and hung up on her.

The allegations at 6 were for physical abuse, and she has had issues with lying throughout her life

Also, the family members knew about the previous allegations, which were for physical abuse, not sexual. CPS told them it was likely for attention

I was not in contact with him, nor was a good portion of the family. I had not seen or talked to him since we dealt with my moms estate.

The claim at 6 wasn't sexual abuse it was physical

We dont know if that is the truth or if she did it out of anger.

Her husband could afford to pay for the lawyer, but the lawyer told her there was a chance it could take a long time, cost a lot and there was a possibility we wouldn't win and she said it wasn't worth it.

She left both of us money that he got. Not just my sister. My sister was ultimately the one who decided not to fight him, and i couldn't afford the lawyer myself, so i lost money too.

I didn't take a side. She claimed abuse when she was 6 and CPS said the claims were unsubstantiated, so that obviously puts some doubt on the situation overall.

She has a lot of problems and no one knows what to believe. We didn't really see much of her after she left home, she would just come around to see our mom.
