[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. OP back.  I don't want to live in preparation for a separation, but it is a real possibility because of the money issues in our marriage.  I was hoping there was a legal way to protect earned income and assets.  I understand the concept of marital property, but I was looking for a creative way to preserve money for our kids.  I could give some to my family, but I don't think they'd be willing to involve themselves.  And they don't need any money from me.  Although I guess I could gift them money, then they could gift it to my kids in a UTMA or even to me in a trust?  If we get divorced, half of "my" savings will effectively go to my in-laws and get diverted from my kids.[/quote]

Largely increase your contributions to the kids 529 accounts.  Fully fund them for both undergrad and grad school.  These are about the only accounts that won't be touched in a divorce.[/quote]

This is a better advice than giving money away to your family as a revenge.
