This is a smart idea.

This is actually quite amusing and now I know what to do if a divorce ever comes by in my future. Anyone on the forums pull a fast one on there ex wifey ?

if you get married, would you tell the wife that you have bitcoins? you'd be starting off the marriage with some deception there though.

Well thankfully i'm not married yet neither do I have any plans to ain't no body got time for that.

I used to say the same thing, then a brunette bombshell hit me. I still won't share my bit coin with her.

she'll tease you with sex and use the vag to get it all out of you.

I'll admit that it makes sense to hide assets in Bitcoin
I never really put much consideration into the implications of using bitcoin for divorce to disguise income since the exchanges would likely need to forefeit this information if requested
That said we live in a time of transitions so this may be a viable option if people do not know what questions to ask.

If I can convince her that a satoshi is the standard unit of bit coin that could work out very well.

My brunette bombshell can have half my coin.
She helped buy them, although she didn't want to get as many as I did.
You all need to find partners that bring home as much (or more) bacon as you do.
Hiding your money from your partner seems pretty lame, or immature to me.
 
What if you get incapacitated?
Don't you have a something in your wills?
Potentially loosing all your coins seems like a bad way to treat your family.
If you can't be open with your spouse, could it be you shouldn't be spouses in the first place?

Finding a hot chick that is also an earner is tough, so if you have one hang on tight.  Most hot chicks are always bartenders, cocktail waitresses, our cosmetologists...

One things is sure. The author (Amanda Williams) is a regular visitor here. 

She might have seen this thread:

(BTW... look at the top comments)

Even if you divorce, you know whether someone will squabble with you over money long before it actually happens.

[TheFootMan]

Yup, if you suspect a divorce is in the air just cash out all you can and move it. That's of course if she was a total bitch, I don't think I'd want my wife to go with empty pockets after years of marriage.

Good idea. Just claim you lost everything on gambling, then have it stored in a bitcoin address.

Not that simple. The authorities are a bit more careful now. If you claim that you have lost everything in gambling, then you will have to show the proof supporting your claim. They will even cross-check the credit card bills.

It is impossible to hide your fortune in bitcoin within a few months. You need careful planning like setting cash aside monthly and only buy bitcoin from ATMs. There is only so much you can hide, cos you still need cashflow for mortgage and bills.

[markus1000]

spouses can also hide cash or gold bars, or other commodities.

So is this going to be another thing the media highlight as a bad use of bitcoin?

[kehtolo]

Don't worry.. it's the Daily Fail.. the only people who take this 'news'paper seriously, don't have the requisite IQ to use bitcoin.. but they love to be scared on a daily basis with xenophobic stories about bad immigrants stealing all the wealth from their country.
They are about as anti-libertarian as you could get from a newspaper.

Only if the author is a misandrist.

Not really, especially if they just add it to the longlist of bad things already passed around.

This is a bit silly considering anyone with access to money can put it anywhere. Gold, silver, cash ect.

It also doesn't mean that you still won't owe your ex-spouse the money from the judgement. I don't really see how bitcoin changes much is that regard.

What would be funny is lots of family law firms accepting bitcoin payments.

Exactly...if all your liquid assets quickly vanish in the midst of a divorce, you would get slapped with a judgement, and your wages would be garnished.   You would end up having to pay it back anyways, unless you plan on never working another W2 job in your life...

Easy as all hell as a professional poker player. Ship it.

Better advice is just not to get married. Especially if you are a remotely intelligent, motivated and successful male. Don't get freerolled gents.

And if you want to get married, get a pre-nup. A woman/man with good motives won't have a problem signing on - if you are going to be together forever, it will never come into play, so unless she/he intends to marry for money, it will never come up.

You realize those things slowly degrade over time, right?

I'm not opposed to giving women money after you've been together for a while, esp if you are the breadwinner, but when I'm moderately wealthy and they are dead broke (they always are), and they aren't motivated to change/study/etc (only shop for shoes), giving them anything past (like half) what I would deem fair would be mind blowing.

You have a problem still that if you don't marry a women you get this common law marriage thing that comes into play after 10 years together or something anyway so you have to get a contract around that as well.

But even if you get a pre-nup, fucking why?  How does it help anything?  You really want some stupid piece of paper?  And don't talk about tax benefits and this hospital garbage.  Not even close to ev on divorce costs, marriage costs, life liquidity, etc.

Perhaps in some jurisdictions, not all.
