Having separate accounts for personal stuff is just wise financing, but feeling the need to even make a secret account should tell you where that’s headed.
Siphoning your money into a secret account before a divorce is a great way to lose all of that money and possibly face criminal charges. But, it depends on the state, really.
Doing it as an attempted fraudulent report of finances, yes. Having it as a personal, non-joint account for years prior is not fraudulent at all, yet keeps said divorcee-to-be from all manner of technically legal shenanigans.
