I think I'd dig a little deeper into the inheritance money.
The fact that money from your paycheck went into that account means the inheritance money was co-mingled with marital assets. And that is usually the criteria for deciding that it's a marital asset.
WH of a friend of mine (USA) inherited money in Italy. They decided to take a family trip there to meet the other distant relatives, sign the papers and collect the money over there. So they went to the bank and took out a loan for the trip and had a wonderful time. When they got home, he took that inheritance check and put it into an account in just his name. Their DDay was shortly afterwards and after a lot of ugliness, she got stuck paying half that bank loan and he got to keep the entire inheritance. He's the same guy who put a For Sale sign on the front lawn of the marital home during the youngest's H.S. graduation ceremony. His DS got home from such an exciting moment to see that For Sale sign in the front yard. The boy is now 42 yrs. old and hasn't spoken to his Dad since. Anyway, didn't mean to get going on all that, we all know what Rat Bastards they can be.
I think maybe you'd like to get a second legal opinion about what your attorney is telling you.
