Question about money....

Just out of curiousity, how can you hide money if you go through a divorce?
Has anyone ever done this with any success?

Hide it under the bed!

Please write more to understand what is going on. If you want to cheat your wife, I wont help you in ideas how to hide money!

Not about cheating her about money, it's just that we live in a 50/50 no fault state and I am just curious that if we ever got a divorce, is there a way to hide money from her so I wouldn't have to start from scratch. I'm not sure there is any way to do this, but I am curious if anyone has any ideas. I dunno if we will ever divorce, but I'd just like to know.

Do you trust ur children or brother/father/mother/sister. Give it to them, he/she won't be able to touch it.

My only son is too young and all of the rest of my family is either dead or estranged.

I'd never try to hide money from her lawyers.
It just makes things worse, and you aren't starting from scratch at 50%.

I'm doing exactly that right now.

Are you sure that no one here knows your IP address?

I advice you to be legal and not to hide anything.

If you insist, I would give you my account infos so that you transfer them to me.. I have loans

just kidding!

It is almost impossible nowadays. If the other side suspects you are hiding money they will likely employ a forensic accountant and you really have no hope unless you are paid in cash and stash cash (that is it never passes through a financial institution).

Further, if you do try anything like that and you do get caught, any settlement orders can be nullified and you would be heavily penalised under new orders. So hide it now, you have to hide it later as well.

If you're not trying to cheat her, then why didn't you sign a pre-nup.

Hiding money is only going to get you a kick in pants because a majority of the time you can't hide it.

I should have. Oh well. I guess I should just be honest and not hide anything. It just seems kinda unfair, but at least if I am honest and I live in a 50/50 no fault state, the most she could get is 50% correct?
