Could my ex have a claim?

[LakeTiticaca]

Off the back of another thread I'm now wondering if my exh could have a claim on an inheritance. I divorced him in 1996, there was no financial order or anything, the divorce wasn't contested, it was just rubberstamped by the courts. The house had been repossessed as I couldn't pay the mortgage on my own, he never paid a penny piece in child maintenance and made little attempt at a relationship with the 3 DCs. They don't want to know him and had no contact with him for years.
My parent died a couple of years ago and I inherited some money from the estate. Not millions but a comfortable amount.
My exh will be unaware of this AFAIK, we haven't spoken for years and he lives in a different town. I'm just wondering if he was to get wind of it, being the money grabber he is, could he legally try to claim anything from me?

Has he remarried since?

No.

He wouldn't automatically have any right to your inheritance even if you were still married, and certainly wouldn't now after your divorce.

no

No but I have remarried

Are you in England+Wales or Scotland?

When I divorced I was advised that unless he remarried my ex husband could have a future claim on any assets if I chose not to get a clean break/financial consent order as part of the divorce.

Once someone remarries that person isn't able to make an application, so you couldn't but he could. He wouldn't necessarily get anything, but he could.

I don't know if the advice has changed since then or if there's a time limit considering you divorced a long time ago but my solicitor really stressed the importance of making sure we had a clean break to protect future assets.

@FriendlyNeighbourhoodAccountant I'm in England.
I can't remember being told anything about future assets. I just wanted the divorce over and done with, we had been separated for 5 years.
If he did find out and try to claim I will bill him for the 1000s in child maintenance that he never paid 😉

My understanding is that yes he would still potentially be able to claim if there is no financial order, even if legally divorced, but the fact you have remarried has given up any right for you to claim to anything of his. I would seek legal advice.
