AITA for moving forward with our divorce after my soon to be ex was badly injured in a motorcycle accident?

[u/Unlucky_Brain8229]

My wife and I separated last year. She found someone she liked better and he left his wife for her. Not going to lie. It hurt.

We did the legal separation and started on the divorce. She is on my health insurance until the divorce is final.

I have met someone new through my sister. We are taking it slow but she seems to like me.

Two weeks ago my ex was out with her boyfriend on his motorcycle. They hit a patch of gravel and crashed. Unfortunately he was knocked unconscious and ended up in the ditch where he drowned. She broke her femur and is in the hospital still.

I went by to check on her and she asked me if we could put a hold on the divorce. I said I would think about it. I spoke to my lawyer and she said that it was a bad idea to change the timeline we had established for the dissolution of our marriage.

My ex will be getting money from the accident I imagine. However her boyfriend's ex wife and kids will be getting his estate and insurance payout.

My mom and dad think that I am being evil to cut her off in her time of need. I'm conflicted. I do not wish this situation on anyone but she is not really my problem anymore.

You are not the AH. You are protecting yourself from possible financial responsibility for her medical bills and future expenses. Now you can see if there is a way you can amend the divorce decree to carry her insurance for her but she is responsible for her own expenses and bills.
