how about not telling anyone?

The Laws are different in every state, only a Lawyer can answer that question, in some states in depends how long you were married to each other, for the wife to receive any portion of your inheritance. In other states it does not matter how long you were married. In some cases it can be consider personal property that was yours prior to the marriage. In that case you would not have to share it with your ex.

It depends on many factors is your inheritance a business that will raise your income, or a one time lump sum? Is the lump sum big enough so that you could live off it for years, or is it in a trust fund? In most states after your child support is set unless your ongoing income changes due to a reason like due to pay raises, or promotions, better job, you inherited a business, Your child support can not be changed. How you use the money depends also, will you use it to buy a house? Pay your rent in advance for a few months? Neither will allow her to change the child support but if you put it in a CD or buy any thing but a 401K or other retirement it's passable, that it will not change either. Especially if it changes your income for less than 8 months in some states. I say pay your rent in advance, or mortgage, buy a house, use it in such a way that you can then take your regular income and take your time spending it carefully to your lifelong advantage, and not simply blow it. Clark Howards web site has retirement plans that you can remove money from for emergencies without penalties. Or you might want to set up a college fund with part of the money since that usually falls on the shoulders of the one paying child support. If she sues try to get joint custody so you don't pay any support, every state is now equally trying to put men back into the children's life's this way.

No, but it would be wise to keep it in a savings account in your name only or turn it into some investments.

Why can a police report be file for child abuse if you do not live, but live in Florida

Why can a police report be file for child abuse if you do not live, but live in Florida?
I live in Florida. Found out about child abuse and when reported to the county in which the child lives, county stated a report could not be filed due to the fact the reporter was not a resident of that city. They Could only send a police man out to check on the childs wellbeing. Nothing more. Why is that? How is a policeman going to determine the situation unless it is occuring at the moment? The child was very aprehensive to tell family let alone a stranger.

You don't have to be a resident of the city, or county to report a crime has occurred. Don't know why they told you that. Sending the police for a welfare check is acceptable; he/she will get a chance to investigate. If the officer has suspicions, a report will be written.
2 :
You did 'report' it and accomplished what you wanted since, the situation is now on the Police departments radar and they went and checked on the child. There is a record of your call and that an officer went out and what he found. They could not 'Take a report from you' meaning they cannot write up a statement or document or report for you to sign because they cannot travel that far to take a 'report" The report being the thing you sign, not the act of you calling in or reporting the incident. If you feel nothing has happened as a result of your call or, that the officers hands are tied because he did not witness anything and has no signed, sworn statement to use, go to the department yourself to make the complaint and sign a statement or, call your areas child protective agency. Good luck to you

Get a lawyer and sue them over this. They are breaking the law.

Your research is wrong as far as the AC goes, it is not required in FL. He does have to maintain the septic tank though, unless you clogged the sewer lines. You file a grievance in small claims court, breach of contract, which will give you the right to move out and break the lease.
