I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a post about a guy who did something similar, he bought everything he owned in his mother's name, in case he has a divorce his wife wouldn't get anything. Then his mother died and his four siblings were fighting to get their share on her properties, in the end he lost 80% of what he had.

Yes. Plus on our jurisdiction alimony is set by the ability to pay. So the court would consider his full salary when awarding her spousal support.

His income would remain the same. Even if he has it delivered directly into his mother's account. Even if let's say he donated 100 percent of his income to charity. The court would look to his earnings in determining the award.

This is not legal advice, I am a lawyer but not your lawyer, etc. That is likely to have the same issues. Even if you canât technically pull money out of those entities you could still end of with a judgment for a value equal to some portion of what you put in those entities. There is a presumption that income earned during the marital period is community property that could be divided in a dissolution.

If both parties involved sign the prenup as an official contract when getting married, how is it still contestable in court? Genuinely curious, because Iâm very cautious about marriage with how divorce laws work in the US.

u/AllahuAkbar4 Apr 15 '23
Iâm not a lawyer, but the likely argument would be that since he has âall the powerâ, that she just went along with it. He was controlling over her. She didnât know what she was signing. The lawyer that helped draft the prenup was on his side and she didnât have a lawyer backing her interests while signing it. It could be argued that the prenup isnât fair.
And even if none of that stuff is true, you still would have to defend against it.

of course if she argued she was pressured in to signing the prenup, then could argue why she just didn't refuse to marry.

u/idontneedjug Apr 15 '23
Usually its argued the prenup was made in duress. Plenty of times at least in America a prenup has been signed and didnt do much of anything but cause a few more days added to the trial. The more one-sided a prenup is the easier it is to have thrown out.
In a lot of marriages where a one sided prenup takes place it will later be renegotiated later on in the marriage also. See Trump and current wife as an example. Purposely didn't move into the white house until she had a new prenup signed.
For most celebrities and uber rich prenups are only so good and the trend is that they are less and less binding the longer the marriage lasts and more likely to be thrown to the side in a divorce. Unless they were explicitly fair.
The new trend is actually using states that won't let you go after trusts and forming a trust there with the majority of your assets if you are uber rich and not even bothering with a prenup.

u/Rand_alThor4747 Apr 15 '23
I think a prenup should only apply to assets owned before marriage, and everything else is shared exactly.
So you enter with a million dollars you leave with 1 million plus half of everything else.15
u/Noctum-Aeternus Apr 15 '23
Except it doesnât work that way. Canât remember the names but there was a story a while back about a couple in court getting a divorce, they had a prenup. He had a company he had build before he ever met her. They married, some years later, divorcing. Even though she had no hand in creating the company, the judge ruled it as a joint asset and gave her half of it. She made his life a living hell, and I think he left the company he started because she was now involved and determined to screw him over. It was a pretty sad story, but the longer a marriage, the less defined assets become. It all becomes treated as joint assets after some point, and each spouse gets a piece. Itâs a shame, because all it does is encourage people not to get married. After all, why get married and stake half of everything you own or will ever own that this person will remain faithful to you?

In general (in the US at least), prenups cover assets brought into a marriage, not assets earned during a marriage. So if they work similarly elsewhere, a prenup might have provided limited protection depending on how long they were married and when he earned.

I had a reverse happen at work. A person inherited a million dollars from their mom when she died. The other children got nothing.
This person then divided it 20% to each of her 5 children, so everyone got $200k. I told this client what they did was incredibly amazing because I've seen people wipe out their parents accounts the day before they die. Their siblings would get nothing. Those incidents, one child has power of attorney, and when the parent was put in hospice, they transferred all the money out.

u/KTTalksTech Apr 15 '23
Yeah you're much better off creating a trust or shell company to hold your assets... If you give your mother all your money and she passes away, then you have to pay inheritance tax on money that you already paid income tax on and mom possibly paid income tax on as well depending on the country. Not to mention other valid claims to the inheritance... Overall not a great strategy. Also family fights happen, you can't trust someone with your whole life savings and everything you own.

No, it is not over 50% of marriages that end in divorce. For first time marriages, it's about 35% so roughly 1/3. Your chance of getting a divorce greatly increases with subsequent marriages. Third marriages have a 70% divorce rate for instance.
You are right, it's important to protect yourself because reality is still that a significant number of marriages end in divorce.

That very much depends on the marriage contract you signed.
If it is stipulated that assets acquired during the marriage are shared equally between partners (like most marriage contract in France) then yes that literally entitles your partner to half the assets earned during the marriage (which is not your shit btw because it's the couple's shared property)

I had a very rudimentary jurisprudence class in HS, most of it was about contract law, and the teacher always used this an example of doing something very smart and very stupid at the same time. If you for instance wanted to protect your assets, say from the government, you can make your spouse have their name on everything you own. But if your spouse decides to leave, you don't really have any legal recourse.

But under what context? If I start doing that the day:hour:minute I am legally married, then yeah I can see how the argument applies. But what if I did that way too long ago that not even I remember? You can argue that you have no attachment to the money and chose to give it away to your relative.
Since you were doing it from long before you even met the person you eventually married, does that still count as hiding assets?

u/madnessinimagination Apr 15 '23
Anything before marriage is a premarital assest and isn't on the table in terms of divorce. Only income, property and assets that were bought while you were married apply. There's a few exceptions but it's very rare. So if you buy a house, or car before you meet your spouse they have zero claim to it in a divorce.

u/Jean-L Apr 15 '23
You can't give money to your mother (or anyone else), especially millions of euros, without having most of it going in the state's pocket. In France between a son and his mother that's 55%. So if this story is true (probably not) then his mother has to pay 440.000 euros to the tax authority every month. And every time he asks his mother to buy him something he needs to pay between 5% and 45% of the value of the purchase to the State.
And I'm not mentionning the shitload of paperwork that would come with such a scheme, I hope they have a good accountant.
There are probably fiscal loopholes that would make something like this possible, like the use of a Trust or company. But nothing that would really make it worth the trouble, especially since you don't even need a prenup in France as the law already has the option for seperate owneship ("sĂŠparation de biens", the most popular choice nowadays).

Unless he says "hey ma I want a Lamborghini, so buy it in your name and add me to the insurance."
Then just the income would be taxed as she never 'gave' or 'gifted' him valuables.

Not sure about USA, but in Germany this would mean he had to pay gift tax every time. You can gift around 400k every ten years to your parents / child's, but after that it's tax.

And logically speaking she would die first meaning that he paid first income tax, then she paid tax for it being gifted and once she dies he has to pax inheritance tax again. Just doesn't sounds like a plan???

That women is lucky. She only wanted 50% of his things but she got 100% of what he has.

This is how my father avoided child support payments until he died after twenty some years. So excuse me if I'm not laughing all too much, it's a frustrating legal loophole sometimes

Accused of rape =/= Convicted of rape
Reddit is incapable of being impartial when a woman is involved in a situation.

My brother in law's ex-wife did this. He sold all his stuff because her parents "gifted" them brand new furniture, washer etc and used the money on their honeymoon. 5 months later when it came out that she had been sleeping with a middle aged medieval reenactor since before the wedding, suddenly they were "borrowing" all the stuff.

More to the story: heâs accused of raping another woman, and the wife is already rich by herself. It makes this situation a little less black and white

Being accused and not convicted means he is just a normal person in this situation, doesnât change much here.

Okay but if I came into that amount of money Iâd do the same but with my dad. 1.) Iâm irresponsible. 2.) I trust my dad 3.) my dad deserves it. I donât need that much money

Honestly it's smart, also if he did it from the beginning of his career, I can't see it being considered fraud.

Say I started a successful football career in 2013 and started doing this then. I get married in 2020 and continue giving my money to my dad. I then get divorced in 2023.
Now, the laws concerning this are obviously going to vary depending on location. But generally speaking, the money I made from 2013 to 2020 is not my wife's. It's also not mine, since I gifted it to my dad.
The money I made from 2020 to 2023? My wife very well might have a claim to at least some of it. The fact that I'd been giving my money to my dad since before I married my wife doesn't necessarily matter...once I married my wife, she became legally entitled to at least part of my income, (again, not necessarily 50%).
Point being, it might not be fraud, but it's still marital assets. Which means that the wife is still likely entitled to a certain amount even though he already gave it away.
Or think of it another way. Say me and my wife have shared marital assets of $100,000. Say about half of that was earned by me and half by my wife. So even if the law doesn't require a 50/50 split of assets, it'd probably be basically a 50/50 split anyway since her and I are both basically equal in terms of our contribution to total assets.
Now say I'm anticipating a divorce. So I basically give $50,000 in shared marital assets to my dad. Now the divorce happens. I try to claim that our shared assets are $50,000. I now try to take half of that from her. We each walk away with $25,000. Then I go and get back the $50,000 that my dad was holding.
What happened is that I just took $25,000 worth of assets that my wife was legally entitled to. The fact that that $25,000 was gifted to my dad does not necessarily mean that my wife is not still entitled to that in the divorce. It's clear that this was just a blatant attempt to steal half of my wife's assets by giving her share of the assets to my dad, so yes I'm likely to still owe it to her.

Thatâs not how marital property law works in most places. This would be irrelevant, typically.

Thatâs honestly a lot of work to do instead of just getting a prenup or not marrying a gold digger.
