Somewhat of a C&P from another board...
Let's say you are thinking about getting divorced...would you start hiding cash from your husband? Not in a bank account that he doesn't know about but...say, in shoe boxes in your closet? Or give the money to a sister to watch over?
((for the record, someone had a financial question about divorce and someone else recommend she do one of the two items above - several people got somewhat pearl clutchy about it))...
I will go ahead and respond first: yes, I would do it.
Re: Somewhat of a C&P from another board...
Well, we are unethical and sleezy.
Add our back stabbing ways to the above qualities and it sounds to me like we are awesome.
Well, if it is in the bank, then your husband would be entitled to half. The idea is to hide the money so that it can't be traced, if that makes any sense.
Teee hee hee hee hee. This is Naughty! I LOVE IT! I am pretty sure DH thinks I have a stash too because...
DH, a friend of mine, and I went to a big Balliet's sale awhile back. Friend's hubby didn't come. She brought some shoes and some other stuff, then we went to a party and her hubby met us there. She left her goods in my trunk. We had to go back to her house to get our dog - and she rode home with her hubby. We got to her house and I asked the husband to pop the trunk so I could get her goods. He said "um, you might make sure she doesn't want you to, you know, drop that off at her work or something....you know...." Long pause. I finally caught on. I said "Oh, honey, he is just like you, he doesn't care."
It was totally cute.
Well, then, never mind! I obviously haven't thought about it. However, I would likely have my mom stash it in a safe place.
Ditto
Careful there. If the house is in her name, it's marital property and a title company will almost certainly insist her husband be on the title and at closing. This is true even if she has filed at that time if it isn't finalized.
Yes, if she plan to buy before the divorce, the property needs to go into someone else's name until after the divorce when she can have the title transfered into her name.
