If the father truly didn't approve of his son's homosexuality and didn't want him to have any money, he could have at least put the money in a trust for his grandchild, rather than punish both his son and his grandchild.
Anyone who punishes their grandchild for a parent's homosexuality is just cold-hearted scum.
What is the problem here? If Robert wants the money - then he needs to marry the mother.
If he refuses to do so - he forfeits the money.
He has no legal claim on that money - it was his father's to allocate - andif the son wants it he will abide by his father wishes.
The courts will not enforce that type of provision - if he challenges the provision, the chances are real good he will prevail and get the money WITHOUT marrying.
Don't care. The old guy may have been an (fill in derogatory terms and explictives), and I would probably have disliked him, but it's his money, and he can will it any way he wants.

How is the grandchild being "punished'?
I want to know this, too. I don't consider a grandchild never seeing money he never knew about and did not earn punishment.
