"The Charney girl"? What a horrible way in which to describe your half-sister. Peter was happy to ignore his father, yet take so much money from the trust; a right which he inherited from that father! What a POS!

I truly feel pity for Peter Dumaine ... he is unforgiving and bitter. What a self entitled, self righteous and truly sad individual. As the Bible says. 'What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul'.

What a conniving son Peter was only not caring about being with his father because he had a trust coming yearly to him. Shame on those two for excluding an obvious rightful daughter and sister. I hate lawyers who would sell their soul to win an unlawful case.

Him trying to take the moral high ground, was the most tragically laughable part of this show!

Sometimes, deceased parents grant most of their wealth to the one that suffered most. My father was the first child, but my grandfather was working abroad despite having 6 children. As a result, my father became my grandmother’s helper, which also made him not attend school while all 5 did. When my grandfather was nearing his end, he gave half of his wealth and property to my father as a “payment” for taking his role as a father to his siblings. My uncle and aunties were unhappy about the decision, but it was luckily accepted.

I can't believe Peter had the cohonas to even do this documentary! He just shows/proves what an awful person he is!

@@The_torero I totally agree. All of them are scumbags but for Elizabeth to run away from her parents at the drop of a coin says a lot about her.

I grew up with a father given up for adoption, but never adopted. His foster parents offered to adopt him when he turned 16 - he felt really bad and conflicted by refusing them, but he wanted his parents no matter who or what they were. I have never known, nor met a child given up for adoption, or fostered who can hear the parents say it "was for the childs sake" ... My father went to his grave wondering what was wrong with him that his mother didn't love him enough to try and keep him. I would like to take these so called parents and show them the harm and the damage they do, particularly when they cannot be brave enough to leave unsealed records that the children can access when they turn 18

My dad was wealthy man with six sons. He gave away his estate to us as equally as he saw fit before his death, and all of us were happy, and are still close as the next generation of the bloodline. Give it away before you die is the way to do it. Definitely saves on lawyer costs too.

Peter needs to grow up that's why you Peter do not have a relationship with your father Peter is so bitter but still taking inspire money

Gosh Susie and Peter could have grant a $1M to Elizabeth just once. That would help her deeply. Well whatever money they have now that will all be left behind when they both died, that’s generally speaking. I felt sorry for Elizabeth, I hope one day she will have a happy life with her children.

When you've lived struggling, you have to be aware of income and costs constantly. It's a horrible way to live. Elizabeth gave her money to people who needed it. She rightly fought for her part of the trust. She learnt a lesson from the first money. And she learnt how greedy and malicious people can be where it's concerned. The loving connection that she had with her adoptive parents is strong and I'm sure that she would have seen that they were comfortable had she received justice.

Wow how disgusting are these 2 children. Peter and susie you should be ashamed of yourselves

oh geez, they all come across as awful, except, and I can't believe I'm saying this, Susy and Peter's lawyer. I like his curiousity about F.C. Dumaine's possible affair.

I can't help sometimes but have a Google while listening. I do find it icky that when Peter passed away last year, there was a GoFundMe set up to help pay for his funeral expenses. He came across as a bitter, smug man, who received significant family trust fund payments, yet his children needed to hold out hands to pay for his funeral. I cannot help but somewhat agree with F.C. Dumaine that a Trust is smarter long term for the children than a straight, outrightinheritance. Siblings can be so nasty, especially when greed and money are more important to them.

That's a different Peter

Peter was right with what he said about parents always needing to take their children in.

I dont think peter is 'bad' he is bitter. And legitimately angry with his father. The grandfather limited his trust to the heirs born with in marriage. So it was his will with his money. Elizabeth would have wasted the money seemingly as she had done before. They all seem a bit mean to me!

Elizabeth denounced her adopted parents! Ouch! She sold her soul!!! Would I have done the same thing! YE$!

rich people are something else , the old fella probably had more than one child .

Oerter “you should never abandon your children’! Peter I do not accept my sister!

Finally a comment that resonates mine.

Don’t know how you gets all that money and u can see ur sister without. I wouldn’t do that

My grandmother passed away.. thankfully things went rather smoothly. I REALLY don’t want her money she should have spent it while she was alive!

There will always be conflict in a family when money is involved.

Strong individuals? Spiteful and greedy.

Greed in it's best.

I can't judge anyone here - it was the court's decision. No one seems perfect in this documentary. People can criticize Peter for his hatred of his father or Elizabeth for asking her adoptive parents to reneg but it's a mix of personal and moral motivations and trust mixed with legal definitions and obligations.

Excellent!

Peter has double standards; he'd have us think him a patron of righteousness; yet he sits there showing hatred to someone who had never done anything wrong to him. The less said about his 2-faced sister, the better. On the other had, I feel it was very opportunistic of Liz to come after the family trust; she should not have pursued that because it ended up exposing hidden intentions, as much as I do feel that she is genuine about having relations with her half siblings.

Interesting story and legal question. I would have ruled in favour of Elizabeth. The old man was a hypocrite.

After watching this, I am confused as to the hate people have for Peter. He nor Susie at no point had control over the family fortune. Their Uncle Buckle controlled the Trust Fund, and by law, the ability to disperse the benefits from it. Even if Elizabeth had won her lawsuit, Uncle Buck still had the final say. Also, it's important to note that old man Dumaine gave Buck the final say as to who got what as stated in the beginning.

This was so interesting

yes its true how money brings the worst in people but nature has a way in dealing with people like Peter and his sister.

Money brings out the real personality

The irony to say you don’t want anything from your father will. Yet fought your half sister in court for the same money is beyond me. I hope they take it to their graves. Despicable much!

Forgiveness must prevail.

This mess is the parents' fault. Peter and Susie are horrid and Susie has no clue how to manage money. Would be nice if Susie and Peter gave her a modest one-off sum to blow again.

i perfectly understand the brother and sister do not want to share with the daughter of somebody that HURT their mother although it's not the half sister's fault

I wonder if Peter could watch this, and not see how bitter, vengeful and vindictive he looks? He comes across as so entitled, and his whole foundation around legitimacy is laughable, in this day and age, will all his grandchildren and great grandchild be "legitimate"? Will he fight to have them cut off from the trust because they are not "legitimate"? I doubt it, he was clutching at straws to ensure his sister did not get her share of the family money!

Money has no friend nor family.

First: The scutter adoptee-couple to Elizabeth were wrong to propose the condition to split the trust that Elizabeth would receive by her birth right with their own son Henry. They lacked principles. Second: There was enough for everyone to be happy and secure, aside from their own personal grievances with one another. Third: Years of built up bitterness and rivalry between the two brothers Buck & Pierre discoloured the following generation, dividing them.

Seems to me Elisabeth is an angel like lady .she will have reward from Nature. Her stepsister and brother were narowminded people. A.PAKISTANI.
