WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A NASTY DIVORCE AND A FAT BTC WALLET?

[zee123]

I'm assuming most would have read, watched and some probably experienced divorce proceedings.
It's certainly not a pretty thing, especially when it's a nasty one. Now, the question is do you
reveal your BTC wallet address when undergoing proceedings or do you simply keep shtum.
Or maybe you have been careless enough to let your spouse know about your crypto dealings.
Do you willingly part with the nice rising BTC or do you offer to pay up in Fiat?

It depends if your other half knows about your digital currency? If they do and can prove it, then it would simply become an asset that needs to be split along with all the other property. It largely depends if you are an honest person and want to be upfront with the judge. What if you've got gold bars buried somewhere that your spouse doesn't know about?

[PMmesexycoins]

I'm not sure what's to discuss. Should be no different than with other possessions. No?

[pooya87]

the same thing happens as when you have a nasty divorce and a fat pocket with a lot of money in it. if the ex finds out about it and can prove it, they take a part of it (of course depending on what country you live in and how the laws are there) and if they can't find out about it or prove it they can take nothing.

[HabBear]

Now, the question is do you reveal your BTC wallet address when undergoing proceedings or do you simply keep shtum.

That depends on what kind of person you are. Are you the type of person who's honest and does the right thing? Or are you the type of person who lies and cheats their way through life with little care for others?

Bitcoin is just currency, the way it's supposed to be. Stop acting like it's anything else.

It also depends on the amount. If you have like 5 million$ in bitcoin you can escape to a tax haven no matter if you spouse knows about it.

I wouldn’t reveal that I have btc unless I have a lot of trust, but I would never reveal the real address to her. Pc profile protected by password, access to wherever I have btc protected by password. I wouldn’t even reveal my password for bitcointalk.

The problem with marriages is that what used to be trust can become in hatred.

Depends from what kind of wallet do you have, and did you use bitcoin mixer before you send them to final destination. If you have for example electrum wallet and after you bought bitcoins on coinbase, bitstamp or where ever, and you run that bitcoins trough bitcoin mixer and final destination will be anonymous, your wife can't do nothing about it, here lawyers can't do nothing about that.
In case you use some wallet where you have left your ID, your documents then your bitcoins will be found easily and half goes to your wife.
I have nothing against girls, but she will go to fuck with another moron and why I need to pay for that. She work she have her money and I don't wish to be their sponsor and pay alimony while they enjoy.

I`m pretty sure all the girls wouldn`t know anything about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin and wouldn`t care about that.She would want only fiat money and it`s better to keep your crypto wallets as a secret.
I hate when all the property is split in half after the divorce.She doesn`t have any right to own a half of your bitcoins ,because she didn`t help you getting them.

[fiulpro]

Well  only if your spouse know about the bitcoins and all and your wallet then only you should reveal.. well why reveal.. just transfer them in ypur friends wallet and you are good to go  who would want a loss huh !?
Also If I needed to I will pay them normal currency because if the value of bitcoins rose above my expected value I will be more than just sad.. haha
Well Also it depends upon the court if they are willing to let you off the hook for your bitcoins wallet..but if the judge knows about the bitcoins.. then you are dead meat.

[AT101ET]

It depends on the nature of the divorce and whether or not you'd want to split it.
If your OH doesn't know about it then what she doesn't knowncant hurt her.
If she does then you're in trouble. She xouldntecbhically force you (through the courts) to hand over her share if you don't reach another agreement when it comes to negotiating finances and assets.
I guess you could always claim to not have access to the private keys but once you make a transfer from your address then the charade is up.

[Kakmakr]

In any divorce the court will require you to provide them with a comprehensive list of your assets and investments and bank account details. <You detail your financial situation to them> Your spouse or her/his lawyer will have inputs in this proceeding and they will inform the court, if you are hiding something from the court. < If it was later found that you lied to the court, you would face other penalties >

Depending on your marriage contract, you might have to sell some of those coins to provide for the spouse as agreed by the court or you have to give something else to balance out the books.

Not all divorce proceedings are the same, most people just come to a quick agreement and go their different ways. Long drawn out divorce proceedings cost a lot of money, so they just want to get it over with.

[tiggytomb]

If it is known that you have bitcoin and it is raised then would need to share it, if she doesn't know then why should you.

It should be treated as an asset. This means that if the other party mentions it, they are entitled to half of it (I think, if I'm not getting it wrong). Beyond that, I would say it's just treated as anything else (like stocks and such) during a divorce.

Lol, gold, hope she doesn't have a private eye on you. But would you pay out in Btc or fiat?

BTC is kind of special, as I think most will pay fiat and keep BTC, what do you think?

[sindikat]

I propose to pay nothing. If your spouse does not have access to your wallet he can not prove that you have bitcoin. In addition, the court may take action under section bitcoins because cryptocurrency is not recognized by the state and by law can not have a value.

[collingiusti]

I got divorced last year, and held about $157,000 in BTC at the time.

However my ex wife didnt know about it, and as I bought all my BTC on localbitcoins there's no paperwork that traced it to me. So I didnt declare it on the divorce paperwork

Ah, trust me if your spouse knows, he'll get lawyers to try to prove otherwise. Funny so many slam bitcoin, but in reality, they would not hesitate to grab it.

[mrcash02]

If the hypothetical wife or husband was an asshole and don't know about the fat BTC wallet I wouldn't give any satoshi to this person. If it was something you have built by yourself on the internet and this person didn't help you anyway, why to share the Bitcoins?

But if there were children involved on the story I would give some BTCs because of the children, that is a responsability people must have even they aren't married anymore.

You can deny actually if youd want to.Even your ex-wife would know about the crypto holding of yours.As long your bitcoins are keep in a wallet and your wife don't have access on the keys then you are still safe not to tell completely.No one can trace you out.If you are being caught then I would rather pay up on local fiat than on wasting up my precious nasty bitcoins.

[joseafonso123az]

Well has this isn't in the law yet, nor many do know about this, your chances of not losing any are great.  The only way you can get asked to give half of it, is if the other side knows what BTC s and that you have a bunch of them, as this has somehow a value of it's own, the other one might ask for half of them.  If they don't know, well you shouldn't be telling it either!

[swogerino]

Revealing your BTC wallet to your spouse which is just a stranger with which you started to share your life with in the moment you get married it is not a wise thing to do. You can tell your BTC wallet to your brother,sister,mother or father as they are your real family and it should be ok with them if you fear something for yourself. If I will be in the middle of a divorce I will make sure to stay calm and not tell anything to my wife about my BTC related things.

[freebutcaged]

I'd send (hire)a professional seducer to fuck my horny wife and then I catch or photograph her while naked with another man, that is enough for the court

To rule out any of her legitimate claims over my wealth/properties. you should also know there is no link between an address and a person, no one could ever

Tell if I am the true owner of any cryptocurrency coins. if they managed to pin you on your Bitcoin savings then try to send them to a mixer the first chance

You get mate, or avoid using Coinbase.

Wow. What a explanation! Bitcoin savings are not gonna to help you in case of being in jail. What about missing your "honorable behaviour" of your wife?

Since it's an asset, it should be declared along with the rest of your property and possessions. Despite your feelings and being bitter of the split up, it's still her right to have half.

However, I think it would be useless if my wife doesn't know or understand what Bitcoin is. She won't be able to utilize it unless we convert everything to fiat the half of her share, which would pretty much be a waste. If it were up to me, I probably won't declare it especially if she has no crypto knowledge.

[949miner]

Well, i dont think that your ex-wife is going to have the half of your bitcoins, far as i know, bitcoin is a digital good, and digital goods can not be used for those types of agreements, at least on my country... But it would be a mess if you have to give your wife the half part of your bitcoins, i would not let her take off my bitcoins, i dont understand why most people is still getting married, seriously, i dont understand, it only gives problems..

[gentlemand]

Depending on where you are, it doesn't matter whether you haven't told them or believe Bitcoin is somehow magically exempt from all laws. You're obligated to declare it when all the finances are being taken into account. It's worth something so it must be declared.

If you owned one of Elvis's turds it has to be declared because it's worth something. It doesn't matter if many people still don't think BTC is the real deal. It can be sold for money.

If no one knows and it's uncovered expect the law to come piling down upon you. You may well get away with it. Then again the alternative isn't going to be pretty.

Those who are married and their wife is aware of their fat bitcoin wallet, good luck to them! Those who are unmarried, take a lesson and never tell your wife about the bitcoins you had saved for better future.

[Junko]

Husband (smiling): "Sure, Honey. You can have the cars, the house, the boat, all the gold and jewelry and all our investment assets. All I ask is let me have the dog. You can take everything else. I don't mind."

Fat Bitcoin wallet confirmed.


Seriously though, I would just give her whatever percent she is entitled to by law. Rather that than go through the worry and headache of getting caught lying about it in the future.

[smith136]

it is easy to hide your bitcoin as long as your ex-wife/husband does not know it, if you dont want your bitcoin get split during divorce why not? clearly this is one of the advantage of the bitcoin which is the confidentiality.

[machinek20]

The first thing is you need to find out, does your spouse know about btc and do you ever reveal how much you got or not, if you think you cant escape from him/ her just give some of your bitcoin, but if I were you, I will pretend that I dont own it and keep it all for myself

[DroidR17A]

If you loved the girl enough to marry her, you should do the honorable thing, which would be to pay the fiat equivalent value. However, you could try pulling a Jamie Dimon (the Dick Rowe of crypto) and claim it has no real value, or as Jamie puts it...no more value than airmiles. Would you transfer airmiles in a divorce?

[contrarian]

That's what prenups are for. The couple can say what belongs to each one and what is mutual. If they get divorced later the prenup can protect the property of each.

If there is no prenup and you don't want to share the bitcoins, just transfer them to another wallet, memorize the seed of that wallet, delete the wallet and say you were hacked.

[Tungsten-1]

the same thing happens as when you have a nasty divorce and a fat pocket with a lot of money in it. if the ex finds out about it and can prove it, they take a part of it (of course depending on what country you live in and how the laws are there) and if they can't find out about it or prove it they can take nothing.

This will be definitely happening no matter what country you are living in. if you are going with an amazing fat wallet and you have divorced your wife she even don’t bother about you until she sees that one big wallet. Things can turn at 180 degrees because in current time, money is considered as everything. Relations are based on it so just leave your wallet when doing such things.

I am not married also but for me if I where in proceeding divorce I will keep it by myself. And I believe that you will share whatever you do when you are married. So if I, I will manage my to secure my wealth because we dont know the future brings so better to be preventive than to be careless.

[Nerman]

Just for fun, i hope my wife would not be able to read this. LOL.

It will really depend on the breakup if it is nasty one and she does not know about it I will not tell her, even if she knows about it i will create another wallet and transfer almost everything there.

[cryp24x]

I wouldn't tell them about my BTC and if ever my wife found out about it, oh well I'll let the court decide.  If they go with the decision that I have to share half of it then what would I do but to share.   There are certain criteria where I can decide on what to do like the x wife want fiat , so I can give her fiat equivalent of BTC, if not then she will definitely get half of the BTC, courts order remember/  But I will try to appeal to nullify it as much as possible.

Lmao I think it depends how your laws recognize Bitcoins. If your country acknowledges it as a payment option and your spouse knows about it, then you're definitely going to have to split it. If it recognizes it (your wallet) as a digital account no different from Facebook accounts etc., though, maybe you can get away with keeping everything? Not many countries have existing cryptocurrency regulations though, so that decision will hinge on the court.

As for your wife not knowing about your coins, I'll find it quite peculiar if your wife doesn't at least know you're dabbling in crypto. If you're married and don't want to part with your Bitcoins, just try to make the marriage work lol. Otherwise, maybe you could split up your coins into different wallets and only admit to owning a fraction. It's anonymous after all.

[nskendrovic]

As long as you have access to those private keys in your bitcoin wallet you are in control. Nobody can force you to do anything! Not even if this person has  a robe and a gavel.

Honesty is a good thing right? I guess it depends on the nature of the divorce.

No matter the nature, divorce is a divorce and whatever could have amounted to it in the first place isn't something soothing or good. Apparently, we should not even talk about honesty in this case.

The thing is if she knows about it, why would I not declare it since I know it will be wrong not declaring the whole assets in the first place and if she does not, why will I want to disclose it? So she can take my days of sweat and risk to give to another man? No!

[JoMarrah Iarim Dan]

Whatever the reason of that divorce I think it is worst enough  to end up to divorce. I am not a married person but I can say something about this. Take note it is just my opinion.

Now,what will happen? Just turn back the normal life you have before your ex husband or ex wife enter your life. You live happily before he/ she came, for sure you can do the same thing plus now you already have a big amount of money. Do not be lonely and have less worry. Divorce is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it is the good thing to do. If you have kids, you will not worry to the money you are going to use to raise the child although it is a big responsibility to be a single parent.

Maybe you think I am just saying this because I am not in the position or I am not on the real situation but it is being practical and I think it is the best thing to do. You can't decide the best when you are angry or lonely.

He got so carried away thinking about that divorce that he forgot what the question was.

JoMarrah, you don't know life at all. If you have kids you're going to be twice as worried about the money, believe me.
Now, what to do with those coins? It depends on your relation with your spouse. If you're divorcing on friendly terms, you can choose what to share and how. Such divorces aren't that uncommon. People are just bored and want to try something new.
If you hate one another it's best to lawyer up and have him think of something.

[geyayy]

It depends on the situation, if you want the divorce then don't try telling about the digital currency you have, maybe she'll cling to you and stop the divorce. And if you don't want to be divorced, try to lure her. Ha ha ha

You cant say such thing that you wont tell that thing to her since divorce decisions comes unexpectedly.How would you know that you would be potentially divorced? If you do discover such thing then you are late since for sure you would able to tell her about your crypto holdings.If she does know then you would really have a problem on that.

If a woman wants a divorce money won't make her come back and live with you, especially when she knows she can have some of it without having to stay with you. Women usually want a divorce when they already have another man. Your Bitcoins will surely be put to a good use when they go on a trip together.

Just imagine the ex spending your nice bitcoin on the new guy or girl. Or watching it rise in value.
Good thing is you still have half, which possibly leads to you getting a younger new partner. Ask Ronnie Wood lol

[bitbunnny]

In my country that wouldn't be a problem because Bitcoin is not regulated and law doesn't recgonize it as a money or asset and therefore it can't be subject or issue in divorce. But it's not in all countries like that so maybe if you want to keep your Bitcoins just for yourself you should take some precausion measures before get married.

I will be silent about my BTC and only declare my fiat currency. If there are kids involved I will live up to my responsibility by providing for them.

It's certainly not a pretty thing, especially when it's a nasty one. Now, the question is do you
reveal your BTC wallet address when undergoing proceedings or do you simply keep shtum.
Or maybe you have been careless enough to let your spouse know about your crypto dealings.
Do you willingly part with the nice rising BTC or do you offer to pay up in Fiat?

Well, if you really fell in love and been an honest guy that told everything to your wife, then man. It really sucks to be you. Lol.
But if you haven’t told shit about cryptos to your ex wife, then damn it! Let all hell break lose! Haha your a free man with great potential to find a lot of better women that deserves your honesty and love. But I suggest you go and get drunk and enjoy being single again.

[zee123]

In my country that wouldn't be a problem because Bitcoin is not regulated and law doesn't recgonize it as a money or asset and therefore it can't be subject or issue in divorce. But it's not in all countries like that so maybe if you want to keep your Bitcoins just for yourself you should take some precausion measures before get married.

[deadsilent]

If you keep them really good. They might not gonna see it. But they will go and look after your bank transactions. If they see that you are engaging with cryptocurrency exchanges. They are gonna consider that as a conjugal property which allows your ex-wife to have access with your assets. That's sucks because it's your money and you worked hard for that. That's unfair. You should signed her a prenuptial agreement befor you marry her. Anyway, if your ex-wife/husband don't know shit about cryptocurrency.
Then you'll be fine. Keep it that way.

Hi deadsilent, I did not actually consider that part where they trace your bank transactions back to crypto exchanges. Good advice though, prenuptials is one way forward for sure.

[okissabam]

It really depends if your spouse or partner knows about bitcoin. And if you have kids too because if that's the case, I'd rather give some bitcoins to my kids rather than give it to my spouse. And I think it will be worth it too if my kids would have them. But then again, it really depends on how you both decide about them.

[btcprospecter]

I'm sure most people will spouse's will know about bitcoin it could get messy. Do you just give them fiat value banking that they will go up in price or give them actual bitcoin.

[Razick]

I might be different than others, but I would accept giving half of them.

Why?

Because the court will give her WAY LESS of your other stuff, because she gets all of the Bitcoin. So the case closes right? However, at this point DO NOT send the Bitcoin! It is that simple. Just agree to send half the Bitcoin, but then claim you forgot your private key and there is literally nothing they can do. They cannot even prove it was you who transferred the Bitcoin if you do it right (use a mixer).

[Sithara007]

One of my friends is going through divorce proceedings and he is facing the same issue. He is having quiet a few BTCs in his wallet and he is planing to keep it as a secret. But it is quite risky. He is having quite a few exchange accounts and many of them have the ID verification. But the guy is adamant. He doesn't want to give any of his coins to his wife.

Well my spouse knows about my dealings with crypto especially with bitcoin I always considered that what is mine is his. What is his, is mine too. But sometimes those watched divorce are sometimes real, but I don't want my relationship with my  husband will eand like that. But I try to answer this situation if I face like this situation I will explain that he has no part in my btc since bitcoin is not a contract money and their is no digital contract between us. So, is in my own wallet and it's mine.

I personally think, do the smart thing and give out fiat. Well, maybe I'm wrong-not. Always Fiat, and not the almighty BTC.

[yohan09]

Well if your partner don't have any idea how many btc you have in a pocket then it will be a good assets to fix some broken pieces in your divorced proceedings, Just let them go and make sure things will be replace double or triple when the time passed by. Since bitcoins are not yet regulated by government, I guess your btc are exemptions for conjugal property.

[Flodemaga]

Since you are marriage it shouldnt be any secrets between, my wife does know i do play crypto and she knows in part what i have over it, she doesnt understand pretty well it. If happens a divorce she wont take anything because she hasnt the keys neither the adress, and as i know she will need to proof i do own such coin, but sure for some people its risked to talk about their portfolio.

Me too I am not married but if ever I have a fat bitcoin wallet even though I got divorced or whatever, I think I have less worry about to where I am going to get money to use for my daily needs and my kids needs (if I have). But I can't be sure if I will be happy. Bitcoin is money, money is just money, and not all things can be bought by money. At the end of the day being alone is the worst part of life. You will not know whay will happen after that "divorce".

In a law suit for divorce, parties are to divest there financial interest to members of the family that are considered as weak especially the children to take care of their necessaries.

So, whether one has loads of bitcoin or not, what the court is concerned with is the means of income from the man, so if bitcoin is disclosed is going to be included and be dealt with as assets or property .

On the other hand, if the earnings from bitcoin was in existence before the divorce lawsuits and it is concealed before the court during proceedings, the woman is entitled to go back to the court and the matter would be treated as perjury - lying to the court.

As being said you do already have a fat wallet with btc which means it would be in terms of investment but if we do assume that he do have ways of earning which been already done before the divorce then men would really be obliged to make partition specially on its holdings.If i were the guy i would lie that i dont have that wallet since they wont able to track such thing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that it would be not affected as there is no law concerning about the bitcoin or cryptocurrency as part of the conjugal property that might be stated or moght be used as a levy for this. However of it was encashed then i think that would fall under the jurisdiction.

With more regulations coming like a need of declaring how much bitcoins you have while entering the country and ICOs being treated like normal assets and funds, I think a good lawyer could find a way to say that as bitcoins have real value, they should be treated in the divorce like a sharable asset. But they are a bunch of numbers and no one can force you to admit they are yours, I guess.

In this particular case, whoever controls the private keys owns the BTC. as being largely unregulated it wont be able to be included in the sharing of patrimony in a divorce. So whoever is on the verge of a divorce, fill your wallets:) with a private fungible coin please. My top pics today are monero and komodo.

I think the law is important to have in the bitcoin because the value of the bitcoin will be high when more and more people will be able to invest and now it is very easy to hold your bitcoin in your wallet and the wallets like the Amazon, the block chain are the best to hold your bitcoin and to increase your money for the bright future.

[coinstalker23]

I wont let my ex wife knows that I have lots of bitcoin on my wallet . And after i got divorsed with her maybe ill buy a fine house and a ferrari and go to a nightclub or strippers club everyday Lmao if that happens Ill be happy for the rest of my life if i got many btc.

[MostHigh]

In the first place, it becomes a bit tricky because if no one knows of your btc dealings then what will happen is if you are not able to use it and you died, its in your wallet going waste so definitely you have to share your password with a truted friend and who better can you share it with than a faithful wife/husband. As unpredictable as the future can be as well, this partnership might need ending and if your partner knows about t then you have to share it with them. Its a really tough one if you ask me, but i will rather share than loose it all.

[bitcub]

According to law, A husband and wife will split all their belongings into half upon their divorse. If you think you will be divorse with your spouse someday then dont tell anything about your crypto hehe.

Suppose that I'm in that situation you have described, I guess my partner would know that I have bitcoin since during our happily married years, I put off time to join signature campaigns, buy, trade, etc. I don't think I would divulge my bitcoin address and account but probably i would be able to share that casually or unintentionally. During the court proceedings, I might forget everything about it because of hatred and despair and all those emotional and legal roler coaster. If I'll be asked by the lawyer or my partner spilled it, then I have no choice but to admit that i have bitcoin then! I hope by that time, my partner have more bitcoin than me!

[Mainman08]

My wife knows all my transaction in bitcoin. I don't want hiding anything to her because i love her and i trust her. But if our marriage will come to a divorce i will make a set up with her. We will give the 50% of my BTC to our child. And then we split the remaining balance.

[portotoi]

hahaha that scenario is so funny! But if that case happen to me, well i should not let him go! not because i still love him but he knows my btc address or my credentials which is more important to me than him. I may be still good to him hahahahah

First, I hope you don't split with your wife. But hypothetically speaking when such things like divorce occur it is quite unrealistic to think you know how your wife would think especially if the divorce was brought about by infidelity from one party. It is an unpredictable situation, your partner's lover or outside intrusion my influence your partner in wanting half before even focusing on the kids. Best thing I believe is to either to split it in half or simply hide the existence of the wallet. But hey this is not financial advice, just in case lol

Hahaha. Nice scenario mate. Of course when you are still at it together, chances are you have told your wife that you have stash of bitcoin somewhere and its a good investment for the future. So pretty sure that she has an idea what it is, and it you are really unlucky she might have research about it when you are in the office. 

Then going back to the future, nasty divorce, your wife says that she wants some share of your bitcoin. My answer: NO, I will deny that I have bitcoins or worst I don't know what bitcoin is.  . Your wallet has no name in it and your wife is just speculating that you have. So its only based on heresay. LOL. I will deny and won't admit it specially by investment is making me good money. HELL NO!!. Hahahaha

[waynechong1995]

Well if you don't reveal how much buying power you could have with these FAT BTC WALLET that shouldn't be a problem i guess, but i wonder is that true that these kind of proceedings would involve cryptocurrencies as part of your assets as well, lawfully? Well if really a NASTY divorce happens i wouldn't give a single Satoshi unless court order me to do so or having my dear children separated. How painful it was to giving up your precious investment assests considering BTC is at its infant stage to another NASTY person who took your wealth as granted? Hell noooooooooo

[gabmen]

Interesting thought though. If i were the one dealing with bitcoin, then it stays with me. I don't think my spouse will have any say about it sincr bitcoin isn't a physical or material asset. I don't know how legally that will be handled but as far as im concerned, that's how i plan to do it.

My partner knows what im up to and i dont keep a secret between us so she knows everything. If ever we divorced i prefer to give her share in fiat but the kind of personality she has i assume she will insist to have btc as well. I think thats the disavantage of being open to your partner and then suddenly you both decided to have seperate lives.

[Sithara007]

There are both positives and negatives in hiding the Bitcoin holdings. If you hide them, then the divorce proceedings may go on for 5-6 years (or even more) and you may not be able to spend your coins. Even after the divorce is finalized, you may not be able to spend your coins for the next 2-3 years. But if you reveal your holdings, then 50% of that is going to go to your spouse.

[JL421]

nothing you happily agree to get divorce as long as your wife isnt aware of it even if she is i don't think you will have to provide any of your hard earned coins to her because it isn't a legal currency so you don't have to worry to give her any of it

I'm assuming most would have read, watched and some probably experienced divorce proceedings.
It's certainly not a pretty thing, especially when it's a nasty one. Now, the question is do you
reveal your BTC wallet address when undergoing proceedings or do you simply keep shtum.
Or maybe you have been careless enough to let your spouse know about your crypto dealings.
Do you willingly part with the nice rising BTC or do you offer to pay up in Fiat?

This post is merely for fun, 'I AM NOT MARRIED'

My partner knows what im up to and i dont keep a secret between us so she knows everything. If ever we divorced i prefer to give her share in fiat but the kind of personality she has i assume she will insist to have btc as well. I think thats the disavantage of being open to your partner and then suddenly you both decided to have seperate lives.

This is good if you are sharing about the all things with your partner and you are giving her the share, the bitcoin is the best thing and the right choice than the fiat so I think if she will demand for the bitcoin and then she will give the more share, I would like to suggest her to take the bitcoin and make more money than your given share, bitcoin is the best choice for all the people.

[Zero.X]

As long as you've never shared your address, you should be good. It's fine if they know you're dealing with the currency, but if they didn't have access to it before, they shouldn't now.

Will i thinks it great! If  i have a burf fat wallet of btc and im in the situation of divorcing my wife,all i can do is to pay my devorce  in fiat moneyand continue to keep my btc  that's she would not know  in  my wealth because i'm the one only digging this.i save all my bitcoins  to support  our children future.and find another women who accept me who i am.

[orions.belt19]

I envy your big fat wallet but seriously speaking, this would spell some trouble for you! Under the law of succession, the spouse is entitled to 50% of all your assets and savings. This would mean that your wife is entitled to half of the contents of your big fat wallet! Unless you’re okay with being unfair by not declaring all of your holdings, you don’t have a choice here. The moral way is to give what she is entitled to.

It depends, by law most of the time the person you were married is entitled to half of that money, however if you are able to maintain that amount of bitcoin in secret then you could in theory keep it just be careful if you are found out hiding money like that you may get in serious trouble.

[Saifher]

Keep it to yourself if you were the one who accumulated it! In most cases we can read here on the forum, the partner doesn't even understand much (or is very engaged) the idea of bitcoin/blockchain/crypto, so they probably wont even notice 

[Bagaji]

All depends on the country or region you leave or referring to for such laws or contract doesn't exist in my country. Based on laws in my country, the lady in question will have nothing to benefit from my assets except some assets that are in her name.

[zee123]

Well if you don't reveal how much buying power you could have with these FAT BTC WALLET that shouldn't be a problem i guess, but i wonder is that true that these kind of proceedings would involve cryptocurrencies as part of your assets as well, lawfully? Well if really a NASTY divorce happens i wouldn't give a single Satoshi unless court order me to do so or having my dear children separated. How painful it was to giving up your precious investment assests considering BTC is at its infant stage to another NASTY person who took your wealth as granted? Hell noooooooooo

Hi waynechong1995, believe me, anything that smells like money is money. And you know the saying the love of money is a b****. Well, not exactly that's one of mine. Look through history anything that can generate money becomes part of what the legal system would try to control. Satoshi definitely falls under this category, so expect the bitter spouse to come for it with the mighty hammer of the law. But I agree with you not a single penny would pass if it can be avoided.

[zee123]

Hi Bagaji, alright for some, don't be surprised if the marriage rate goes up in your country.

[krishnapramod]

I recently read somewhere that a guy from US not only ended up sharing half of his Bitcoins with his ex-wife, but also had to pay the lawyer fees in Bitcoin. For a Bitcoin holder, I guess US is a bad country to get divorced in

If you are too damn sure that your marriage isn't going to work out then keeping mum about your Bitcoin holdings is the best way forward.

On a serious note, irrespective of how your marriage is going to work out, telling your spouse about your Bitcoin savings is logical, why risk adding your savings to lost coins.

[portotoi]

if i were in that situation, i would not disclose the information of my flat wallet in bitcoin. i will disclose only my other assets not my bitcoin, and never, unless maybe if my husband has also a bitcoin hahahah

[maydna]

i will make sure to keep my btc in secret because this is my private assets and only person that i trusted that i will share to them especially if i have fat btc wallet. its only few people that i will let them know how much btc i have in my wallet. and i don't think that i want to share the amount when i am divorce because we have our own life and its not related with our ex wife/husband. we can walk alone and each of us will not interfere our personal life.

[Hazaki]

I'll never let family/girlfriend/wife to know qboit my private stuff and deals whether it is bitcoin related or not so i'm pretty sure that she won't even realise that i have extra money . That's money from my experience and countless hours of surfing internet and trying to raise knowledge about bitcoin , so in no way i'll be revealing it or sharing it with anyone .

This should teach us a lesson you need to be very careful to who you choose as a couple, seeing stories of people turning on each other after they were deeply in love is not strange, so if you need to hide your bitcoin from your soon to be ex wife then you made a mistake in choosing the right person to marry.

Hey, things change, people change. You can only try, truth be told sometimes people just fall out of love in a very bad way. An example look at couples who win the lottery, they ever hardly stay together.

[pealr12]

You will only spend your money in a wrong way if youre divorce and with a lot of money.
If you have a family with  a fat wallet life will be so meaningful , spend most of the time on your wife and children buying them stuffs . Divorce is not a way to live the life you want.

[BossMacko]

We all know that having a lot of money can do anything so in-case i had a nasty divorce but i have a fat Bitcoin wallet then what i am going to do with those money is to buy my happiness, what i mean is i will use that money to forget that nasty divorce and to move on. I will go on a vacation trip far away from my ex-wife and enjoy myself.

I think if you are married your partner knows that you have crypto dealings, and though the btc wallet is not within the controlled of any documented processes just like in banks. I think this is considered as a conjugal property from which you two are sharing though if you have a nasty divorce I think you can insists not to share it with your nasty partner for earned that yourselt without any legal authority process. So he/she cannot get something from you, its all yours.

[chichigirl]

Talking about divorce is a very sensitive issue but talking about you've experienced divorced and you have more BTC is a very nice thing.  by that you can overcome the heartbreaking experiences because you have a lot of savings with you that can be used to heal the broken heart.

I am happily married, i don't want to experience the divorce but if it will happen and my wife doesn't like me anymore, i will hold my bitcoin and watch how bitcoin rise everyday.

[GreenBits]

if your wife know you are loaded an into crypto, trust and believe they have lawyers specifically for this. this is actually pretty old; i read an article from a senior attorney telling about some of his more unique divorce fraud cases. bitcoin was among them, as well as someone investing in a theme park (you cant make this shit up). maybe if your wife was completely unaware of the coins, they might survive the proceedings. and the timestamps the blockchain provides offers irrefutable proof of exactly when you purchased the coins, in case you need to claim they were purchased prior to the relationship.

[Hyperme.sh]

That depends on what kind of person you are. Are you the type of person who's honest and does the right thing? Or are you the type of person who lies and cheats their way through life with little care for others?

Surely you are referring to the woman who has done nothing to deserve stealing half the man’s work. That is institutionalized cheating. And it is destroying the West.

It always depends upon the situation. If both of you are into cryptocurrency for a long time of course she has to take a part of your holdings. Let's just say if your ex knows nothing about your Bitcoin holdings then it's up to you if you are going to give her a share especially if you will give it for your offsprings to sustain their needs. But offering to pay up in fiat money would be a nice choice too. If it is a nasty one then why should I? I would rather wait for the kids to grow up and give them money or either way teach them about BTC too. I don't think if divorce is already existed or allowed in my country maybe annulment is only present here. But yeah I don't know about some legalities about it yet since I am too young for a marriage.

Lol who wants a divorce from such a successful person women’s needs are just surrounding about the money and incase this happens that investor need to give a damn word for it man when you have wallet full of btc what else you need just go on vacation spend your money and prove yourself more successful in this so that women will regret about getting divorce bitcoin overcome any kind of incident happening.

Yeah that is true,if you got more money means you can enjoy your life without any worrie.Most of us our problem is about financial so why it would it will come to our mind a thing like divorce.If we're married we must have no secret especially in terms of money so that no problem will occur.

Exactly I think there must be rules legislated in this regard. Like you said, this is seriously a non-justice act. You are working day and night to gather such huge money and then a women comes and she ask for half amount. You can’t provide and then buy rule she become a deserving girl who makes you loss. Still, there is always a choice that can make you think wise.

Well legally, i don't think your fat btc wallet can be considered as conjugal. Though its a bit complicated really since you have to be completely honest with your wife. Just change your catch phrases and passwords if case you go separate ways

I see this thread is still bursting with misinformation, delusion and self righteousness. Remind me never to purchase legal 'advice' from anyone on this forum.

Agreed. I don't think you should hide it, as a) it's a dick move, b) it could easily come back to bite you on the ass if the truth comes out later - in which case the judge will throw the book at you. Best approach would be to pay 50% of the fiat equivalent if you believe there's still am lot of growth potential, or sell half and cut your losses.

[Shping Coin]

An interesting topic:) but this is just a matter of time until it becomes mandatory to disclose BTC or other cryptos as an asset to the revenue office, once this is done, your wife or everyone else will have access to this info. Enjoy it while it last

[darklus123]

The fat wallet will be then circulating on the market after the nasty divorce. I would rather invest that amount or spend all those to enjoy my life. Your ex should handle their own life unless if we do have children then all the amount should be nmed after them will atleast you are trying to be a good parent

If the proceeding is going on and my ex half doesn't know about it well i probably keep it as a secret,it doesn't mean that you don't have the right to keep a secret just because you are married,i believe that though im into a relationship i still manage myself not to tell everything it doesn't mean that im being greedy or unfaithful there are really things we have to keep for our self..
To op mate,
I can see that you are referring to a husband but im a woman/wife here entering in a crypto world wanted to earn bitcoins for future use.

[Malaya]

I'm not sure what's to discuss. Should be no different than with other possessions. No?

I would agree in this! Bitcoin must be also the same with other possessions you have. However assuming that your partner doesn't know about your crytocurrency world up to the present, I think it will not matter whether she knows it or not. Funny to think that questions like this are in the forum. Oh! Reality of life.

If your spouse knows the specifics about your cryptocurrencies, then you’re probably going to have to include it in the settlement just like anything else. If your spouse is not aware of what you have or at least not all that you have, you probably shouldn’t reveal it all. Keep as much of it to yourself as possible because it’s very likely that he/she would never be able to track it down. As far as how you would give half the funds over, I don’t think it really matters since you would be losing it anyway.

[dothebeats]

Quite a tricky and intriguing question tbh, and if someone goes through this route, I'm not even sure how the proceedings would work in countries that don't define bitcoin very well.

Properties can be anything: clothes, gadgets, pillows.. the list goes on and on. Assuming that you and your wife gets divorced, normally a judge would rule out that your entire net worth together would be split evenly in half, but that doesn't include your toothbrush, pillows, clothes--literally all of the things you own.

If I own $20,000 worth of clothes, I wouldn't need to declare it as a part of my asset since, well it cannot be sold easily plus my ex-wife can't even use it. So in this case, those little things don't need to be declared in your asset when legal separation comes to play. Bitcoins, on the other hand, is considered as an asset as well. In the end, it all boils down to the judge and his associates to decide on the matter.

Also an important lesson: never ever tell your spouse that you are rich in crypto

[imamimam1234]

I will give her fiat after exchange my bitcoin, but for sure I will make exact calculation before decide how much I would give to my ex wife. But if my child chose to live with her mom, I will give extra fiat to raise our child. I will not tell her about my bitcoin or real fiat amount , my ex only need to know that she's got enough.

It doesn’t  matter that what is happening in the life if a person is achieving a good profit he doesn’t need anyone else and his life he may have to pay some money to his wife and they separate their paths and he can easily continue his life so that his wife will feel regret to get divorced from million and she will fell regret and will soon ask for the patch up again because money is everything and everyone needs it.

[Harlot]

In a legal perspective you don't have any choice but to reveal all your assets including the once earned in Bitcoin as it is required by law, you can even be caught after the divorced. Now for your agreement or settlement about the division of wealth it is really up to you and it depends if your wife agrees with what you offer. You also have to put into consideration in who will take care of your children with of course he or she getting a bigger share to support their child.

You cant really escape that thing on which your wife will definitely knows all of your holdings and as you said we do trust our wives thats why we do decide to marry her. We do entrust all of our belongings and possible assets along the way and if you do have bitcoin then for sure you wife do really knows about that and making lies on the court will really put you on trouble later on.

[BitcoinPanther]

I think there is thing called conjugal property, unless this bitcoin was earned by the two, the can share it else if this is solely hard earned by a guy, the woman have no rights to have a share from it.  Aside from that, I think it should be declared as couples savings in order for these separate couple to have an equal share on that BTC. But one thing is for sure, it would easy to find a new partner with such FAT BTC wallet.

[Sacredtoad]

Nothing maybe she will come back if you cash out every bitcoin and throw the money on her face maybe she will even go into bitcoin with you then and then you both can make bitcoins together.

[Dreamchaser21]

Well your are lucky because you still have your own money to use for your next family, it's really up to you when you will say about your holdings with bitcoin or you just keep on your own so she will never be benefited on that, after all she was your wife and you are just talking about money.

There is no such thing as backdrop of divorce. Example are just shouting in front of the court and there is no respect for each other no matter how important it is to each other that their wealth is useless .it's useless compared to a wealthy thing .your money pocket is full of money and your currency is much .it's very useful .if I choose something in virtual or after that I'm i in fat of wallet vs.human resources, you live in bitcoin fat because we live a good way of life and also live together in bitcoin for that reason I work hard here...

It is simple, it matters who has access to the accounts and on who's name it is made, there is no legislation issue yet regarding the heritage of bitcoin.

[DrGuns4Hands]

If the both of them earned the bitcoin then they should split it in two but if only one earned it why would they split it, it should only be kept by the one who earned it. If your wife know about your crypto currency then it will be a long story but we all have our secrets to hide and my bitcoin is one of them.

[setupbounds]

Nothing maybe she will come back if you cash out every bitcoin and throw the money on her face maybe she will even go into bitcoin with you then and then you both can make bitcoins together.

Bitcoin is really the latest market trend and people are really making money with them. This is so sad that he got divorced but the yes, if he is going to cash out some of his bitcoin and show that lady the real status of yours. Bitcoin is there for teaching such people lesson who are just after money and if she left him just for money it is the best way to take revenge on them by chasing it out.

[Terraformer]

I`m not married too, i don`t know if this is good or bad. On my opinion, bitcoin wallet access, or any other crypto assets, if they accumulated in spare time using exchange trading process, is a personal holdings of a person. But if a family together decided to make crypto investment, risking with community property, this is another situation, then both sides are empowered to claim the stake.

If I own $20,000 worth of clothes, I wouldn't need to declare it as a part of my asset since, well it cannot be sold easily plus my ex-wife can't even use it. So in this case, those little things don't need to be declared in your asset when legal separation comes to play. Bitcoins, on the other hand, is considered as an asset as well. In the end, it all boils down to the judge and his associates to decide on the matter.

Also an important lesson: never ever tell your spouse that you are rich in crypto

I think the last sentence sums it up really. " never ever tell your spouse that you are rich in crypto "

[zee123]

I will give her fiat after exchange my bitcoin, but for sure I will make exact calculation before decide how much I would give to my ex wife. But if my child chose to live with her mom, I will give extra fiat to raise our child. I will not tell her about my bitcoin or real fiat amount , my ex only need to know that she's got enough.

Uhmm, so whats the point of the exact calculation. Since you are only going to give her what you believe is enough. What if she likes a nice red flashy Ferrari for her new young boyfriend at least younger than you. lol

[brickafterbrickwalldpt]

If I had to decide what to do about such an situation, which let's say would occur in the next decade or so time-wise, then I would rather offer to pay in fiat money, unless bitcoins are acknowledged by major governments in a way that would make them a part of a divorce possession split. If that were to be the case, I'd probably make sure not to tell my wife about bitcoins or how it works beforehand. Sorry, it may be morally wrong, but given how modern divorces play out I would not like to end up in a box on the street.

[zee123]

I see this thread is still bursting with misinformation, delusion and self righteousness. Remind me never to purchase legal 'advice' from anyone on this forum.

We'll probably start to hear about more than a few cases of crypto and divorce in the near future. If you're in the wrong country, ie America, UK and a few others, then your money, and crypto is part of that, being forcibly reallocated is a given. 

It doesn’t  matter that what is happening in the life if a person is achieving a good profit he doesn’t need anyone else and his life he may have to pay some money to his wife and they separate their paths and he can easily continue his life so that his wife will feel regret to get divorced from million and she will fell regret and will soon ask for the patch up again because money is everything and everyone needs it.

That is one hell of a story, and it could be the other way round too. The guy left the woman who happens to be the btc believer.

[zee123]

I'm assuming most would have read, watched and some probably experienced divorce proceedings.
It's certainly not a pretty thing, especially when it's a nasty one. Now, the question is do you
reveal your BTC wallet address when undergoing proceedings or do you simply keep shtum.
Or maybe you have been careless enough to let your spouse know about your crypto dealings.
Do you willingly part with the nice rising BTC or do you offer to pay up in Fiat?

This post is merely for fun, 'I AM NOT MARRIED'

It is simple, it matters who has access to the accounts and on who's name it is made, there is no legislation issue yet regarding the heritage of bitcoin.

Not so sure about that my friend, lawyers always find a way to make it count if there is knowledge of one of the individuals holding bitcoin.

Agreed. I don't think you should hide it, as a) it's a dick move, b) it could easily come back to bite you on the ass if the truth comes out later - in which case the judge will throw the book at you. Best approach would be to pay 50% of the fiat equivalent if you believe there's still am lot of growth potential, or sell half and cut your losses.

Besides if you feel the need to go through the trouble of hiding your bitcoin investments to your partner then why did you marry in the first place if you do not trust in this person? This is why I have always thought that many people marry for the wrong reasons and that is why there are so many divorces.

You cant really escape that thing on which your wife will definitely knows all of your holdings and as you said we do trust our wives thats why we do decide to marry her. We do entrust all of our belongings and possible assets along the way and if you do have bitcoin then for sure you wife do really knows about that and making lies on the court will really put you on trouble later on.

Lol, I don't mean to be cynical but that statement of everyone trusting their partners I believe is overrated. It's not necessarily true, ok maybe in some cases. Well I do believe honesty is the best policy.

[zee123]

I think there is thing called conjugal property, unless this bitcoin was earned by the two, the can share it else if this is solely hard earned by a guy, the woman have no rights to have a share from it.  Aside from that, I think it should be declared as couples savings in order for these separate couple to have an equal share on that BTC. But one thing is for sure, it would easy to find a new partner with such FAT BTC wallet.

  I hear you brother the finding the new partner part. But unfortunately, I believe when lawyers get involved and there is knowledge of you owning bitcoin you will certainly pay up.

Question isn't any different from any traditional bank account. If you live in a common law state, the money presumably is a shared asset and you are legally required (if not also morally required) to split the asset the same as any other. The "nastiness" of the divorce has no merit. Cleary, the question as to whether you "should" divulge it already acknowledges the requirement, otherwise there wouldn't be any question about it. At that point, it's only a question of whether or not you're low enough to hide assets in contravention of the law. If you'd hide a bank account, I imagine there's no distinction to be made for a crypto asset as well.

Hi, the question is do you part with the bitcoin you have or do you part with the fiat equivalent knowing fully well bitcoin has the tendency to rise. Easy to answer the question now based on the astronomical rise of bitcoin at the moment. When the question was initially asked it wasn't the case.

[shaun98]

Depends on whether your wife was good to you in your marriage or not and deserves to have some of it. I would probably not reveal it though, or maybe reveal a smaller wallet lol.

[woodsgregory13]

It's an interesting topic for discussion, I read all the 9 pages of this forum, found out a lot of new ideas. However, I am here with a new idea too. Instead of coping with lawyers' problems and spending a lot of money, it's much easier to file for divorce via online divorce service. There are a lot of such services on the Internet nowadays, where you do all your divorce papers online and no one will annoy only because you have bitcoins. My personal recommendation is this site: https://onlinedivorcer.com. A qualitative help and consultations are provided there by the competent lawyers for quite an affordable price and tailored to each state.

[Lapatai]

Well BTC is like "Monopoly" money, it isn't real.
Even if she finds out that you have it, you simply can refuse (of course it differs if the BTC was bought through banking transfer, there is a lot of evidence and this investment affected your family budget).
So if you are divorcing you need to even give your Facebook profile too?

[qwertyup23]

It depends on how your divorce proceedings went through and if you are willing to disclose all information with regard to all of your current assets.

At this point, it is not a question on how BIG are your current resources at but a question if whether or not you are a reasonable person who follows and abides the rules. This question would also be different if you were to have obligations with your payments, especially if you have a child to support.

Depends on whether your wife was good to you in your marriage or not and deserves to have some of it. I would probably not reveal it though, or maybe reveal a smaller wallet lol.

I think he/she should reveal regardless of the status of the marriage as it determines your attitude and liability as a person. If that were the case, I think we now know who is the reason for the cause of divorce....

[boltz]

Regarding this situation I think the way it works is if you have bought bitcoin during you marriage alongside with your wife , your bag of coins will be split in half like any other products but if you have bought them before marriage , its yours and only yours and nothing can be split. Of course there is always the option when you can simply donate some of your coins to your wife without being forced by any law.

[mazdafunsun]

You just do not tell your other half that you have crypto, they will never know, this is an advantage of crypto over fiat. In case of FIAT , they can easily find out if you have savings account.
But if they  know, they will tell their lawyer and you will end up dividing the crypto as well, no going around that. Maybe only saying that you lost your private key,

[Mometaskers]

Why do I have the feeling that OP has been watching MGTOW channels? 

Anyway like most people have already said, it depends if your spouse knows that you have crypto. I just don't know how far they can compel you to reveal your addresses/physical wallets and encash your crypto.

I think even if your wife only have a suspicion of you having them, she'll try to find a way to force you to give them up. If you already have crypto before getting married, don't tell her. I think it's possible to keep items in trust that can be given to your heir if you died in case you are worried about your children. Not sure about including this in the will while still married since they could find out about your store.

[TrevorS]

If I and my half had a common budget and bitcoin earned together, then I would have easily opened my wallet to her. However, most often it is better that only one person in a pair knows everything, since this increases security. They should also leave instructions if something happens to you so that your soulmate can find your BTC.

This thread is funny though, lol! Well I believe that still a good relationship in marriage is what matters rather than having a Fat BTC Wallet. What money can do for me if I don't have even a wife behind me that will comfort me when I am down, still happy marriage is what matters and having a Fat Btc wallet is just a bonus.

[kooboat]

Divorce is always a  hard battle for most couples undergoing the process. Considering the legal tussle and the likelihood of losing some valuables of yours, in a case where you have some hidden money or worth somewhere such as bitcoin, it would be largely wise to keep mute about your bitcoin holding.

We all know how hard it is to undergo a divorce procedure so showing your btc wallet would just be another nuisance for you knowing how much money mean on the world right now. If you have nice crypto dealing, you would rather keep it than let your spouse know it cause it may become another issue for you two. Always make sure you have your crypto well protected even from your loved ones, remember alwazs that money is the root cause of greed in the world.

And what will a wife do for you after she divorced rape you and took your car, your house and your children away? So long with "Till death do us part".

I think many of us non-Americans are still not worried about this but for them it is really in an issue, considering marriages there already have a 50% of ending in divorce (and the survey I was basing this on was from 2012 mind you). Sure we are joking about it but this is something that must be discussed. Crypto might be one of the ways a divorced man don't end up living on the street.

[ecnalubma]

I got divorced last year, and held about $157,000 in BTC at the time.

However my ex wife didnt know about it, and as I bought all my BTC on localbitcoins there's no paperwork that traced it to me. So I didnt declare it on the divorce paperwork 

I think every married crypto people should do this lol unless you want to be fair with your ex partner. But I haven't heard cases like this yet, maybe if your ex partner discover your crypto funds it will not be easy for the court to make decisions because it will be hard to handle a matter like this. 

[Google+]

I think one day I will provide information on how to use cryptocurrency and how to access the cryptocurrency wallet so that when he is proficient with it all I just need to provide a will in the form of a private key that can be used for access to the wallet and all the cryptocurrency assets that I have so that the assets that I have can be used by my wife and child when I'm dead.

[nasipadang]

It depends on you, I am the one who will tell my couple where all my money is coming from. In my country giving half the assets owned while still a partner is a thing to do, it depends on the situation why you can get a divorce. You can also give a lawsuit to not want to give half the assets for several reasons.

Such a fun topic, posted when all alts and BTC are pumping so probably many have fat BTC wallet or exchange account back then. It will depend since our country divorce is not allowed but my partner knows it, though you can freely not say your assets in crypto unless your wife insist. Better give it to your children than in your wife that can have other partner or if the closure is not in good terms.

[Palider]

It depends on you! And in the situation.

It depends on whether you give half your assets to your spouse. But if I ask, I will give it if we have children.
And if we had no children I would lie.
They will never know it because they have no evidence that I have any hidden wealth.

[Eclipse26]

Is crypto assets still part of the conjugal property if the government doesn't have law about cryptocurrency? I don't really know much how to handle this situation since there's still no divorce in my country. But if its me, I'll tell my wife about me having crypto.
But wait... Why do I have to think about this one when it's not even a real situation of op.

[akmal1984]

I will not tell about my whole crypto transaction. I will only tell just a few% of what I have done so far. Because there really is a right he has from what I have. Maybe I will save the remaining one for my child because he will definitely need it someday.Incidentally, I am now married and have a son.
Now I am just trying how I can prepare crypto savings for my child in the future.

If bitcoin is still not legal in every country  think it is still not under conjugal property, conjugal property on bitcoin can only apply to a country that bitcoin is legal so that they could add bitcoin as the asset, you dont have to worry about it since not all the countries includes and legalize bitcoin so when you two divorce you may get all your bitcoins.

Although I don't have family yet, still I prefer having a happy marriage in the future, and we will work things out for us to grow and become successful. So, when that time comes that I do have Bitcoin, then what is mine is also for him, we don't need to separate it, so what we need to do is to be careful in choosing our partner in life.

[ufaiz50]

I still singel, I do not know whether there are regulations that govern the matters of money savings or anything like that. What I know for men who have income, must provide money allowances to his wife. In accordance with the rules and considerations of husband and wife who will divorce, good or bad divorce.

[electronicash]

its a lot nastier when you have kids.

when the relationship is tainted already, you would have to worry if your wife will just poison you with the anti-freeze while you enjoy watching a ball game. you just stay away and deal whatever is needed and move on. Its very different when you have kids. they are going to be the most affected in such situation and proceedings includes custody. when you have to spend money while your kids aren't on your side, you'd rather fight for the custody.

Is it not the cryptocurrency wallet that she knows she will mentioned in the proceedings, what I would just do is to move the coin out to another wallet and probably use chip mixers where they will not be able to trace it.

Everyone knows that when it comes to the issue of divorces, there is usually not much transparency about it , so that the woman would not claim what we know would damage us, so if I have a fat fiat wallet, I will move it to another wallet and probably deleted transaction history if it is possible, and if it is not possible, I will do everything possible to just block the transaction history and maybe leave btc that is worth $1000 in the wallet as proof for what I am holding, and  now that you have mentioned this, I am a married man, but i think I should prepare for this.

[markmyers147]

If the question of divorce really arises, then
it's cool to do such things online, on things, like these: https://www.arizonaonlinedivorce.com/

I got divorced there, but I managed to keep my savings and wallet with me. It's about how much I got my ex-wife, that she didn’t even want to think.

[bits4books]

BTC will remain to you because from the point of view of the law, they are not money/property (almost in any country in which you live). If you are getting a divorce, it means that you were not sure about your woman all this time and therefore did not tell her about how much btc you have/whether they are at all.
And in General, it is better not to divorce (this wish mean to look for the person with whom you will definitely not divorce)

there are just instances that married people fall out of love. or having problems especially when one party wants to have a kid and other can't produce. i don't know if its a ground for divorce but s/he will really think he wasted his time when s/he could have kids to other partner. so before the sperm counts gets lower, better decide.  

just give what your wife deserves so she can go on as well. you can earn your BTC again.

[omone1]

Your spouse should know about your bitcoin asset because of eventuality. Come on son don't marry a troublesome woman that could lead you to court litigation and eventual divorce, because divorce is something no one really want to experience.

It seems to me that it is time to change the system - and not to give the 50% of your wealth to your wife, but to give these 50% in favor of their child (if he remains with his wife). I would not want my child to be raised by a other man and I would not want him to watch as his mother tries to find (if she is looking for) a new man with all the resulting injuries.
