There are really a lot of issues going on here and I think the main one that you are asking is whose money is it anyway. Wel, money earned during a marriage is considered marital money regardless of who earns it. Does she have to give it all to him? No. Does she have to share? Yes. The issue with her nephew is really a family one and should be decided between them. But they have equal rights to the home and an equal say as to who stays there nder what terms. Good luck.
