I guess this shouldn't surprise me. It sounds like the ex-wife is moving in for the kill now that Puckett is gone. By accounts I've heard, his wife was an intolerable bi#ch.

So, does Puckett's wife seem like she's trying to safeguard his legacy for the kids - or does she seem like she's money-grubbing?

Opinions or comments - anyone?

the SMART money is on money-grubbing. It ALWAYS is!

Does Arizona have common law marriage laws? If he lived with his fiance, maybe they had a common law marriage.

Won't really know until after the fact.

This is the step she would need to take either way.

Any hands other than hers is the wrong hands. According to her. When people with money die it brings the worst out in their relatives.

Well, if there's no will, the ex-wife has no claim. However Kirby's offspring do, and the ex-wife is their guardian.

The fiancee is out of the picture entirely, unless Kirby had provided for her in a will.

It's easy to call the ex-wife a money-grubber, but who else is supposed to protect the rights of Kirby's offspring?

I think I'll withhold judment on this one until more information is available.

EX-WIFE?

What grounds does she have to start grubbing now?

[Rakkasan1]

don't think so. if she was, she held her mouth all during funeral and memorial proceedings and appeared civil to Kirby's fiancee during the memorial service I watched on TV.
If what Kirby physically allegedly did to her while they were married didn't make her mad, I suppose a decade plus of cheating might.
