What is the name of your state? California

This question is along the lines of a younger lady who becomes an older man's second wife. The older man suffers a disease which leaves him mentally incompetent - with his second wife now taking care of him and his medical needs. The younger lady eventually files for divorce. When the family tries to get a glimpse of the older man's/couples finances the divorce has magically been reconciled by the couple.

This is probably a common situation but has anyone had experience with it or knows possible outcomes. I'd be happy to answer other questions regarding the situation.

Based on the little infor you give:
They are legally married and if she is taking care of him, it is none of you business if your inheirtance is not as big as you like. If there is neglect or abuse, that is a different matter.

Divorce...Or Not...

Actually we were primarily concerned not with inheritance but taking care of him should she actually go through with the divorce. Secondly we would rather have his hard earned money go to our family should he pass away, and not her and hers.

The question was more along the lines of the actual divorce proceedings. Once you file for divorce can you just decide to reconcile and not go through with it. If the family was in the process of obtaining guardianship during but it had not yet been completed before the "reconciliation" are they now powerless?

yes people can change their minds and not get divorced, and you have no say over where your dad's money goes
