[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All accounts can be traced since you have to supply your scoial to open any account.

You are an idiot.

I'm not sure if there's a central repository for tracking bank accounts that lawyers have access to.  The usual trick is to send out subpoenas to the largest banks (WF, BofA, etc.) and then to local banks in the area.  If you picked a smaller bank with branches elsewhere you could probably get away with it.

Of course, it would eventually come out on the financial disclosure forms.[/quote]

States are required to keep this information.  Also, they can ask for tax forms (anything earning interest would be reportable).

If it is discovered that you are hiding assets to a judge.... Well, it would not be pretty.

You could buy assets with a trusted friend (you could not be on the title or account).  But then they could steal it or take it from you and they would be taxed on it.[/quote]

Lawyers can't subpoena that information from the state.

Interest rates are crap right now.  I kept over $120K in a bank account while we were searching for a house and never received a 1099 for it because rates are so low.

Agree hiding assets from a judge is not advisable.  I think the bigger issue will be for OP to explain where any sizable withdrawals from the joint account went.  OP's spouse will be able to find this out pretty easily when she reviews the bank statements.[/quote]
