It's crystal clear that he deceived you and the judge, and for that reason alone I would cut off all contact with him.
I think it would be prudent to still look for a roommate, but at least you are less pressured.

Thanks, Samicat.
That's what the paralegal told me - that they cannot predict right now how much I would get if I did pursue it. And a large part of me feels like it's morally or ethically wrong to go after more than what he is offering me. It's HIS inheritance after all.
On the flip side, I tend to agree with you and think that he likely omitted it from his financial statement on purpose.. of course, there's no way to really prove this, though.
I had one woman who says she is 59 call me about my apartment. She sounded more like 69-70 years old on the phone! Not a good match.
I don't really know now about a roommate. I can exist for four months without one. Maybe I will push my search up to June 1 and pause my ads for now. I don't know... I really don't want a roommate, unless it's a good match. My home and my space are sacred to me... my home is my sanctuary, my haven, and I don't want to bring just anyone in here with me.
