Do you think that it was fair for John Edwards to be left out of Elizabeth Edwards' will?

I certainly do think it's fair. More than fair, given the circumstances. Besides, John Edwards is very well-off financially (although of course there's more to being mentioned in a will than money).

I think it's only right that Elizabeth left everything to her three children, and I have a hunch that John Edwards probably feels the same way. No one but the Edwards' truly know what took place between them--what conversations they had and how things were left--before Elizabeth died. Hopefully, they came to some sort of understanding.

They were married for many years before the affair, had children together, dealt with the loss of a son together, and of course went through two presidential campaigns together. Despite what John did and then, as a result, what Elizabeth had to deal with so publicly in addition to what I'm sure was plenty of private grief, I do hope they were able to come to some sort of peace and salvage some measure of friendship. I do remember hearing that John Edwards was with her either when she died or right before, so that leads me to believe they did have some understanding and a connection remained, if for no other reason than the children they shared.

I wonder if perhaps he already knew he would not be mentioned in Elizabeth's will.

He deserves much worse than this, in my opinon.

Yes I don't think he deserves any of her money.

Not only do I think it is fair for her to leave out her cheating lying husband in her will, but she got the last laugh when he got nothing. She was well within her rights to leave him out of her will, especially with what he did (thank God he wasn't elected president, or vice president). The whole country supports what she did as a way of revenge against John Edwards.

If I was in her position I would've done the same exact thing.

Yes. It was her property to do with as she pleased. It really doesn't matter whether he treated her badly or well, she had every right to decide who should benefit from her estate.

Absolutely she was within her rights to leave out John Edwards, in her will. While a spouse is often left or included in wills I feel it is more of an honor and not a right to be included in someone’s will. Also with the pain that he caused in their marriage is inexcusable, so again I do view this as a surprise, but more of a given.

Also their marriage at the point when she passed was probably more for convince than anything else, I quite sure that she did not want to go through with the hassle of going through a divorce in her final days, months and years. So the marriage was more than likely less than half of what it used to be.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
