Man Refuses to Pay for Ex's Funeral Expenses, Sparks Family Feud

A man's decision not to pay for his ex-wife's funeral has sparked a feud with her parents. The couple had been legally separated for two years before the woman died from liver failure. The man had reportedly begged his ex-wife to seek help for her alcoholism, but she had refused. The couple had purchased life insurance policies during their marriage, but the woman had removed her ex-husband as the beneficiary and named her parents instead. Her parents, who are now planning the funeral, had assumed that the man would pay for everything and had told vendors as much. When the man received an emailed invoice for several thousand dollars, he called his ex-wife's mother to discuss the matter. Despite offering to pay for a small portion of the funeral, the man will not be paying for the religious service, flowers, or the luncheon afterwards. He has also decided not to attend the funeral, feeling that he is being taken advantage of. But is he in the wrong? Read on for reactions and comments.
