Bitcoin, Spouses and Divorce

[gentlemand]

his wife had heard about Bitcoin in the mainstream media and the price rise and was pressuring him to cash it all out immediately or she would leave him.

If it had been mine before she arrived I'd tell her to go fuck herself. If it were 'our' money that would different. Even then someone like that would've told you the same when it hit one dollar. And after that they'd spend what little time left you had together berating you for giving in.

It would also be a completely different deal if we were under significant financial strain. Not addressing that if you have the means is selfish and stupid. If things are bobbing along just fine then it stays put.

And when you get your divorce Bitcoin is worth something so you're going to have to give whatever the court decides away. You can try to hide it. That might bite you extremely hard in the botty.

Have you heard of the issue of investing in divorced bitcoin? It can also happen if your spouse is not involved in the investment or knows nothing about bitcoin. If your partner invests a large amount of capital but fails, losses will also affect family happiness.Conflicts in families happen to be the cause of broken family happiness.

He should have let her leave him. What a bitch. You don't threaten the person you claim to love like that. I would have told her to fuck right off and left myself. Legally they can do jack shit to you.
It is your crypto so no law in the world will take them from you. I know a lot about the law since my brother is a lawyer.

You should not have to be in this situation, to begin with. If you then find a new wife. Don't marry idiots or stay with them. It actually is disgusting that a woman would threaten her husband like that.

There is no law that says you have to give your crypto and you don't need to hide it. You cannot get someones bitcoin. Put a gun to their head and make them enter their privatekey? Nothing will bite you hard. In this situation you could tell your wife to fuck off and that is that. She can do nothing. Not her bitcoin. If they happen to be heres and his then this is another story.
Even if there was such as tupid law I would just laugh at it. Law is man-made bs anyway. Most laws are made by a bunch of twits in a room with their own motives.

That all depends on where you live. Where I'm at the moment I get married nothing is 'mine' any more. It all gets taken into account when I take one hit round the head with a frying pan too many and walk.

Are you in USA or Canada? USA law is a joke honestly. Those guys don't know what they doing and have thugs for a police force. YOu guys get cuffed like wtf. Here we don't get cuffed. USA you get cuffed no matter what. Not cool. I would love to see a case where someone had to give over their bitcoin. Like I said before you would have to take a gun to someone's head. i would laugh if they told me I had to give my bitcoins over.
I laugh in their face. You cannot even prove someone owns bitcoins did you know that? Seriously look it up. You cannot legally without a point of a doubt prove they belong to you. Even if the wallet i tracked.
You have to prove that person was at that pc at that time using that IP. You can't just take things from people it doesn't work that way. If it did then anyone can be arrested for anything and get prosecuted.
It is difficult to prove things in court. Otherwise people who are innocent will go to jail all the time.

I am unsure if you are USA but the USA has terrible laws that are often abused. Most arrests are minor drug offences and mostly black people and Mexican. The racist. Not to talk about the fact 1% of the population is in jail and the second most is 0.2% This is why KYC pisses me off so much. These stupid USA laws must stay in the USA my country is not fond of America at all. I am protected from giving my personal info out and here we are told not to give KYC outside the country. The exchange here fro example is called Valr.com and I gave them my KYC. Why? Because I know who the owner and the owner use to work at another large exchange here.
There is also a physical location. Not some faceless piece of shit most people use.

UK.

You can of course attempt to hide your BTC and you may well succeed. But if you slip up courts will take an extremely dim view of that.

It's just the same as tax. It's taken on trust if you file your own shit. If they have cause to doubt you then life will get rather complicated.

[Lauren Smith]

I don't think this is a case of bitcoin but rather morals. That mans wife is abusive. He could tell the court she is abusive and that will count for a lot. You cant just threat people. If you threaten to leave your spouse then you are a serious asshole.

[AssociatesBumble579]

It certainly an interesting point to bitcoin issue, Every payment system are clarify that the consumer will be satisfy with their service. I think bitcoin is the fast and trustable excahnge system at all. so that reason spouse and divorce will be a major part in bitcoin site.

[electronicash]

bitcoin are considered asset to some countries. some considered it property. the court will likely just divide the assets for you and your wife if proven your wife knew how much you have to a known wallet. its part of your responsibility to provide half of the wealth to your xwife, i'm sure its not that of a big deal for law abiding citizen. but its going to be a problem if the court orders to check the details of your exchange accounts like the binance account.

[XCANA]

Without iota of doubt, my wife can still have her own opinion on everything I own in life: theoretically. Why would a woman or spouse ask me to sell out my destiny and I mumuciousely agree to that opinion. More reasons why I want to be alone to do my work as  I'm please. My Bitcoin wallet are far from my spouse and will be far from my future wife to be, because family is different from try to earn from a system to the benefit of the said family.

[n0ne]

Truly speaking it'll serve to be a source for divorce as each and everyone are greed of money. If the husband and wife have the same opinion to sell or try to buy more and more then it won't cause any problem. Among the two if one has got difference of opinion then there arise problem. To overcome this it is possible when no one interfere with one others cryptocurrency asset holding. Let each maintain their own holdings.

For me it isn't a problem, because my wife and I have the same thought on bitcoin holding. She has learnt that more we hold more will be the growth of bitcoin. Upon the same we keep on increasing the volume of bitcoin in the wallet.

You will invest in a marriage where there is no fear of losing.
It's a common sense.

Hello everybody. I am not good at legal matters, but in my opinion all cryptocurrency is outside the legal field of most countries and no court will be able to award what is actually not. But if you look at the merits, you don’t need a wife who gets into her husband’s affairs. Of course, if ownership of bitcoin does not greatly affect the family budget. Everyone has their own cockroaches in their heads. The wife must respect the opinion and preferences of her husband - otherwise the requirements will grow and life will turn into a nightmare. If a husband or wife understands more than his partner in a certain field, then the opposite side simply must be sympathetic, otherwise a divorce is better. The rest is all the little things.

[bp124]

I think the wife said this because she sees it as a ponzi scheme and doesn't believe it can give huge rewards. Maybe it will be better if you explain to your wife what Bitcoin really is and the potential it has

[zeingrind777]

Interesting and funny. How can a man be controlled by his wife? If I were that man, I would immediately divorce her because no one could control me, including the bitcoins I own. For me, a husband is responsible for providing for his wife, but a wife should not be at-will in managing a husband's assets

same i dont like to be dictated or under by my wife but theres actually husband that can be controlled easily by thier wives and wives often have that alibi that that they will leave thier husband if they wont do what they want .

there was also a thread here before that a husband got divorce by his wife and his wife wants a share with his btc and they up this case on the court  . i forgot the title but its really possible .

Hello Folks,

I was listening to a Bitcoin podcast the other day and the speaker mentioned that one person had written to him asking for advice - his wife had heard about Bitcoin in the mainstream media and the price rise and was pressuring him to cash it all out immediately or she would leave him.

I don't know how that particular fellow ended up but it got me thinking - for those of us with partners who are not into Bitcoin, have you ever had pressure put on you to sell it up and are they even aware of how much BTC you are actually holding?

There is a bigger picture here as well, with some people holding hundreds or thousands of BTC and the price continuing to go up - how might the court system view Bitcoin in the context of divorce and separation?

It certainly raises an interesting point.

Thoughts?

LOL What the hell if this happened to me I think it would be better off without her.
It is your investment it is for both of your future so why would she even pressure you and make the decision when she doesn't even understand it?
If you're in that kind of relationship it is better to leave seems like your partner isn't really supporting you to have a better future but instead just making it harder for you.
Chose someone that would support you and believe in you not someone who would just pressure you.

[dizzy1996]

In general, this is an interesting topic for discussion, as I think all just the spouses' joint property is money earned together, but this does not apply to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, since bitcoin does not have legislative regulation in the field of family law and, accordingly, cannot be shared by spouses

[ChrisPop]

If someone like that would be like that, I would dump her immediately. Nobody should make a warning of the kind "if you don't do this, I'll leave you" - that is OBVIOUSLY a toxic relationship that shouldn't exist in your life. As long as the law of the respective state does recognise Bitcoin as an asset - it should be split according to the agreement between the two parties in case of divorce.

Anyway, the guy could just make a transaction to another address and claim he does not have acces to it. haha
But if he is made to swear under oath that he does not have access to it, it gets complicated.

[nicecrypto]

It seems she is the boss lol! Imagine given her spouse such ultimatum just to have her way, from the tone of it, she doesn't sound like someone to reason with, the guy would have try to convince and make her understand that btc price can go even higher 😉.
