There is the law which will help you. If your mother divoced from him, she and you could get some property. I am not sure how much you can get it. Because different state has different requirement. In the city which I am living, it is around 28%. So it is better to ask your local lawyer. If you only ask lawyer what you should do instead of hiring him, it will not cost much, and you may pay him later when your case is finished. Good luck.
