Re: Protecting money from divorce or other sources.
There is no guaranteed way to protect money from a spouse. Massachusetts has an equitable division statute for property division. This means that a judge can control inheritances and control money that was improperly transferred away from the marriage. There are about twenty factors for a judge to consider in property division.
