Man Spending Late Wife’s Money on First Kids and Not New Family Backed [Video]

A man committed to keeping his late wife’s funds dedicated to their children has been backed on social media.

On Reddit, under the handle /u/Every-Bat9568, the man, who has remarried and is now raising a stepdaughter and a child he had with his new wife, shared his dilemma about keeping his late wife’s money aside for the two children from his previous marriage.

“I lost my late wife when our children were young. She had money that was hers (we had joint and separate finances). Anything that was her separate finances is being saved for our children,” he wrote in the post.
