Schlafly daughter alleges brothers sabotaged her inheritance in ongoing family fight

ST. LOUIS • Phyllis Schlafly’s daughter alleges in a new lawsuit that several of her brothers have in effect diminished her inheritance by exerting undue influence over their conservative-icon mother as her health failed in her final months.

It is the latest turn in a Schlafly family rift that began in part over disagreement about the candidacy of President Donald Trump.

In the suit, filed this week in St. Louis County Circuit Court, Anne Schlafly Cori claims her brothers got their mother to amend a family trust so that all legal bills in separate ongoing litigation between the siblings will come out of Cori’s share of the inheritance.

One of her brothers said Wednesday that the suit was “frivolous” and “designed to generate a news story.”

I thought the Schlafly family was filled with Jesus' love for one another . . . . did I miss something here?

Or could it be that pesky "love of money?"


For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
