    The problem with this method of avoiding paying money to the wife, is that if the amount is singificant, someone will notice when you start spending the money at a later date.

    Wifey will then complain to the court that you diddled her and the punishment will not just be be "hand over some more meney to wife", it will do some jail time for contempt as well.

    It's up to you whether it is worth the risk.

        Yes Bob this can be done, but there are charges of possibly 5%, which may be worth it.

        Thanks for the feedback all. BTW residency is not important, but proof of identiy is. More important is secrecy especially after the EU directive. It would be best if there was no interest too to avoid any t ax issues.

          In that case, lend it to me interest free. I'll hide it for you.
