Re: dividing assets

If your wife files for a divorce there is not much you can do about it. My advice is, since she is entitled to half of the $45,000.00, do not put it in a joint account. She can then take it all. Put it in an account that has only your name on it. don't even make her the beneficiary. Call me for an appointment.
