Is it illegal for a husband to withdraw large amounts of money while going through a divorce?

If a couple is going through a divorce and the husband owes the IRS a large amount of money, and he stalls the divorce (court date) and withdraws millions of dollars from his accounts in the mean time, depositing the money into his illigitimate child's trust fund.





If the wife is entitles to half of EVERYTHING, the wife's lawyer is allowed to have the money removed from the trust fund, correct? Also keep in mind that the married couple has 3 children.|||First, a lot of what you're asking depends not only on what state you're in, but also what county the divorce is filed in. Second, unless you've got a prenuptial agreement, it's far from certain that "the wife is entitles to half of EVERYTHING". It sounds like you have a lawyer. Why would you prefer the advice of strangers on the internet to the advice of your own lawyer?|||Generally speaking, once a divorce is instigated neither party should move joint assets. That said, it's much easier when it's a few bucks than when it's, as you say, millions of dollars. Men with millions of dollars to move can do a heck of a lot that ordinary men in a divorce can't do. So, good luck with that.|||Get what you can, possession is 9/10ths of the law. But don't spend it until it's settled.
