Yeah, but do could a stash of cash under your bed too if your wife doesn't know about it  Cheesy.

"A number of forums devoted to Bitcoin have been filled with husbands discussing the option of using digital currencies, a London divorce lawyer has claimed."

There's been a few discussions about it on here too.

if you're stashing say $100,000 under your bed, i think your bed would be really big.

The Daily Mail is a spoof newspaper available in the U.K. Really wouldn't take everything they say seriously.

So you're saying Bitcoin can save someone from being ass raped by a spouse who wishes to take something she doesn't deserve?

Yet another reason why Bitcoin is awesome.

-B-

And why would you assume it's a female? In a equal chance, it could be a male.

No different than what they've been doing with offshore accounts for decades.

Or just cash, or a family member bank account.

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. Tongue

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.

it's always the same, one couple wants meth and the other wants weed.  and yet you can purchase them all on SR.  so i don't see what the harm is in sharing a little BTC..

Both spouses should put their private key on their wedding ring.
This way if you want to be naughty and take your ring out, you'll think about it twice due to theft risk Grin

Sounds incredibly stupid to begin with, why would you give someone your funds unless that someone helped you in acquiring them (which women rarely do)?

As soon as there is more mainstream adoption, there will be wives that will be fighting for half of the bitcoin holdings in the divorce.   

If scorned women are willing to go to bad for frequent flyer miles in court, you can bet your ass that they will go for bitcoins too...

Innit, definitely circumvent the funds in Bitcoin, even during a market slide you simply short and buy back in later. I can imagine that you would have to be very careful as the repercussions could be pretty significant if you are found out.

Doing this would only work if your wife or anybody else didnt know about it. If she did then I'm sure you'll get stung somehow.

But a lot of the time, relationships deteriorate very quickly; so it's hard to slowly siphon away money. And the more money that is moved quickly, the harder it can be to obfuscate all those tracks. Also, the amount owed is not necessarily based on traceable assets but also by income (and sometimes by backlogged income) which adds to the trickiness.

Anyhow, the quick and easy solution naturally is to just get a pre-nup.

If it deteriorates quickly then you have nothing to worry about. The money you had before marriage are yours anyway and it's not like you become a millionaire in a year. (unless you're dealing with bitcoins Cheesy)

Yeah, you would need to have assets completely hidden from the start. Where you're the only one who knows about them. I guess with some foresight and planning you could do this with bitcoin. But most people don't go in to a marriage hiding a large amount of their wealth from their spouse. You could have a swiss bank account or gold just as easily. But maybe bitcoin has an edge in this regard since you can just keep a paper wallet and no one would be the wiser.

Bank records? If you take a bit out over time and put it in bitcoins nobody will know if you're smart about it. And ATMs are not the only place to buy coins.

And Bitcoin works in the respect that you can keep the money safe and anonymous. There's no IRS audit nor can anyone sieze the funds by force.

That's true, but an even quicker/easier solution would be to not get married in the first place. Or organise the wedding yourself and use a fake priest and not tell your wife so you're never actually legally married. You can legally change her name the regular way and she'll never know until she wants a divorce, and then you can smugly say "We don't need one. See you later, bitch"  Cheesy.

Anyone else noticing a global crack down on so called shadow banking and anti laundering bills lately?
Seems like they are waking up to the potential threats of bitcoin.

They need to fearmonger to scare people into paying their taxes. It's easy to get away with paying them if you're smart about it really. If there was no fear most people just wouldn't pay them.
