Mom in her feelings

My mother is filing divorce from her husband, my stepdad. She says that she has come to the place that she no longer desires to be married, she is 70 years old and just wants to travel in her golden years without her younger husband. She explained to me that she feels my stepdad has cheated on her because he is much younger than her (57 years old) and she has had separated bedrooms for years. My stepdad denies bring unfaithful and my mom has no proof. My mother is financially independent and well off and my stepdad has nothing. She kicked him out over a month ago and he has been staying with me. My stepdad has been a great man to me and my boys all throughout their marriage. Since my stepdad has been staying with me he helps me with my boys from schooling, sports, discipline, chores, and everything in between. He has fixed everything around the house provided maintenance on everything. He cuts the grass and does all the landscaping. He has kept my ex husband from coming over to my house whenever he wants and spending the night. He talked man to man with him for hours one night and told him he will not being coming in my house going forward. Now he comes to get the boys on a schedule and sits in his car until the children come out to him. My stepdad said he will not allow my ex husband to take advantage of me and the boys thinking that this is how a man treats a woman. My ex husband has been staying at a distance since my stepdad has been staying with me. My mother is upset because she said I should kick my stepdad out on the street and demanded I kick him out .I said NO, my stepdad can stay with me as long as we wants or needs to. He has done nothing wrong to me or the kids. Nor has he done anything to her that she can prove. My mother is just being mean and nasty. I will not kick my stepdad out on the street. This man is doing everything to help me and my kids and would do anything for my mother if she ask him. My mother said she was changing her will and will leave everything to her grandkids and nothing to me because I let her soon to be ex husband stay with me. She has not talked to me in weeks. I think my mother is taking this too far and overreacting. I love my mother but I love my stepdad too , he is a really good man. Other women in his church community are already looking at him, I told my mother she is making a terrible decision divorcing him. But she doesn’t want to hear it. She think I am a terrible daughter letting my stepdad stay with me. This man has done nothing but make my life better since he has been in my house and help me pay bills too, why would I kick him out.

My mom’s ex husband has always been close to me. After my mother got a divorce from him ,He started coming over to my house more often and helping me out. He is the best man that I know and he is always doing something for me. When he stays at my house I just tell him to spend the night. My mother and family don’t like it and we argue about him all the time. Everyone feels I am too close to him. But he is a great man to me and I love him very much. I love it when he stays at my house. And he likes having home cooked meals.I am not going to stop being close with my ex - stepdad.

Well you need to tell your stepdad to start the negotiations for financial settlement as everything your mum has is a shared asset that needs splitting. he can also put in a claim for interim financial
support.
I could not support my mother in the circumstances you describe
