It's in my name only. We refinanced the house and bought it with cash (it was super cheap). I am thinking about quit claiming it to an LLC registered in Delaware or Nevada. I was planning on doing this anyway, for general liability issues. Or possibly a land trust first, controlled by an LLC.

Now I find out she's got some secret bank accounts herself. We are just starting to divorce and are generally amicable. She of course knows we bought the investment but if it gets nasty, I want to be able to protect this asset from her.

I don't want to hide it from her, and can't really. But I can force her to use a lawyer to chase a dead end and then she'll just have to give up on it. Or so I think.

I'm not plotting against her. I was snooping and found a check for $20k from an account I didn't know she had. The property we own is worth $60k. If she's not going to tell me about the $20k, I'm going to keep the investment property out of the mix as well.

Feel free to judge my actions. If you have practical advice, im all ears.

Thanks
