<human>: My parents divorced when I was 3, so my father was never a real father to me. I never lived with him, he dragged me and my mother to court to gain the right to see me weekly/monthly and so on. When I was 18 I decided I do not want to have scheduled visits anymore and I've barely seen him for the next 6 years of my life. He died recently but I managed to see him before he passed away, mainly for my mother who insisted I should see him before it is too late.
This all happened in Germany. I moved to and still live in New York City.

Now to the recent events. My fathers brother, whom I've never meet, paid the funeral costs and send me the bill. As far as I know in German law, the child of the diseased is responsible before the brothers get asked to pay. We all declined the inheritance. My uncle ( who is also a lawyer in Germany) threatened to sue me in the US and in Germany for paying the funeral costs (~3000 euro)

Some more facts that might be relevant:

- My father never paid alimony to my mother (even though he was supposed to)

- He lived off of the German state

- I am a student with no income

- I do not have any assets as of now (My mother is wealthy)

- My uncle has already paid the costs and wants the money from me ( The state is not involved anymore to my knowledge)

- My uncle/the lawyer has my US address

- My mother pays my tuition/living expenses (Since her and my father divorced she does not need to pay the funeral costs)

- I married in the US and count as dependent to my husband

Is my uncle's threat to be taken seriously? What would his chances be of winning this case?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Father died, nobody inherited anything, his brother sues me for the funeral costs he already paid. They live in Germany, I am in the US.
