Legal Question in Family Law in California

It depends on what the money judgment or lien would be for. It's easy to deed yourself off title and to you wife alone. Nine times out of ten, however, that kind of move fails to accomplish the desired protections, and has far worse unintended consequences. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you review the details of your situation and concerns with an experienced real estate and litigation attorney, and/or a family law attorney if there are divorce issues. You are not thinking very hard if you think you are the first person to come up with the idea of giving away assets to people you like, to avoid people you don't want to pay from enforcing their legal rights against those assets. Do you really think the law hasn't figured out a lot of ways to make that kind of game ineffective at best and criminal in some cases? There are, however, occasional circumstances where it is permitted, and a qualified attorney with all the facts could advise you if you fit any of those narrow exceptions.
