That's good to hear. God bless you.

To be fair, your FIL has half share of the condo = about RM400k, divorce or no divorce. If your MIL proceeds with the divorce and does not give him his half share, he can sue in court and put a caveat on the condo = cannot be mortgaged or sold until the court case is settled.
Since your FIL is bent on paying his youngest daughter from his 1st wife RM300k for the birth-name-right of her 5-month old foetus/baby-boy, the condo should be publicly sold and the proceeds divided equally between your FIL and MIL, divorce or no divorce. Your FIL and MIL should then decide where and how they will live after the sale of the condo, whether divorced or not divorced. Eg if not divorced, they can buy a RM200k apartment and live off the RM300k in FD.
IOW, best for you and your wife to not involve yourselves with your FIL's and MIL's financial and family problems. Both of you should not covet for such inheritance from them = more like inheriting their problems.
....... Remember, both your FIL and MIL are your enemies = you shuld hate your enemy, not love/help your enemy. Why help them financially by paying for the mortgage of their condo so that they can have lots of money to splurge around.? They may later turn around, trample on you and tear/bite you to pieces like wild dogs and pigs.

P S - Your name is BillCollector, not BillPayer.

P P S - Any proof that the foetus/baby is a boy.?
I do not know what proof was given to him that it is indeed a boy. My wife, my SIL and me aren't in contact with them. MIL doesn't approve of us knowing or having anything to do with them.
Billcollectors eventually have to pay bills also, no one is ever exempt from bills.
Unfortunately there isn't much I could say I told my wife please don't get involved as eventually it will backfire. She said it is her duty to help her mother.
Don't dream, the MIL will never accept the idea of living in a RM200,000 apartment. This one essentially used her looks to get into that circle of wealthy men. She used to be a model in the late 70s. Maybe I should help her out more too because my wife gets most of the good looks from the mother

MIL take no action, nothing can be done.
1 slap to keep the house, why not? Else sleep on street when house kena lelong.
Ask your MIL if the house was a gift to her for marrying your FIL? Tell the court then if it goes that far.
Wedding ring FIL wants to take back, ok lor if that can helps.
Its a bit more complicated than that.
During his better days when he was doing well because of real estate development, he did some funny tricks to pay less tax by essentially moving money from left to right pocket. Basically from his company, he transferred it to several shell companies whose sole shareholder was the MIL and did so on the basis of "buying consultancy services", later on the money was combined into 1 shell company to buy 2 condos for investment. 5 years ago she closed down the company and transferred 1 of the condos to herself while the other one she sold to settle debts. No one knows what those "consultancy service" entails but there you go.
Wedding ring? That together with close to 100 pieces of jewellery he sold them off. The only ones that remain?? The ones given to her by her mother and grandmother because she had given it to my wife and my wife asked me to lock it up at my safe deposit box at a bank.

RM200,000 isn't to repair a house, it's major house renovation at a time when her husband is jobless? Why can't people just say what they really want the money for instead of inventing unbelievable reasons?
Assuming the FIL is successful with getting a RM400,000 loan in his daughter's name who is going to pay the loan? If she pays the loan is the RM1 million condo really going to be sold to her for RM400K?
To be honest, I do believe they are using the baby to get more money out of the father else they know he won't give them anything else.
As for who was supposed to pay, FIL told SIL they would rent out rooms in the condo that would help pay but the last time my wife took out a personal loan to loan him money it ended up she had to pay it back for him. My guess is this woul

i read the whole story, and ahha, i know know whats TS's FIL is thinking.
TS FIL actually wants a son, thats why he marry twice and gets a mistress, but no luck, all girls. rays of hope come through when his first wife last daughter is pregnant (its possible a lie that its a boy, to get 300k from TS FIL).
TS FIL must be thinking, no son nvm, at least got grandson!!!
It isn't the first time he is making such an offer, when my wife had our son he tried to force us into the boy using their family name, just that I did not allow it and neither did my father.

sorry i m not here to give advice.
but i want to comment that fil have to wake up, he got a rotten charsiew daughter.
better fil take the baby adopt as own son, than give 300k and dig more money later. can ask for one successful time, more times will come.
That's some foresight there.
