Inheritance is completely separate property, so you would never have any community property interest in it. Like any other assets, however, you can certainly go in to court and get an order seizing it to pay the back support owed.

I agree with Mr. McCormick. Even if you were not separated, his inheritance would be considered his separate property. You can look to it to enforce child support, however.
