11. mom and dad's assets would have been divided as a result of the divorce

That's just part of divorce. She got the house and X amount of money. Dad doesn't get to have them back. They were officially hers as per their divorce settlement, and any of her assets go to her next of kin which is not him since they are no longer married. Now that she's dead, he no longer has to pay alimony but he doesn't get to have any that he did pay until she died back - it became hers as per their divorce settlement each time he paid it.

I hardly imagine that he's thrilled that she was murdered by their son so he doesn't have to pay alimony anymore. That's just sick. He lost an ex-wife he was married to for many many years at the hands of one of his own son's that killed himself the same day and murdered a bunch of people mostly little kids. I hardly think he's feeling any joy that with all this because he no longer has to pay alimony. What a grotesque and cruel thing to suggest.
