Can A Man Hide His Properties Using His Companies In A Divorce by o42austino(m): 9:05am On Jun 17, 2018
Hi Romancelander.
Can a man protect his properties during divorce by buying every properties in his company name which include but not limit to house, land and cars.

Why I brought this up is because in the sight of Law the owner of the company is different from his company and cannot be held liable if that company is sued. So since a company can sue and be sued can it be that if I buy all my properties using my company and making the payment for such properties using the company account, can court of law award such properties to my woman in divorce settlement even if we did registry marriage.

Hmmmm....the company is owned by who? Shareholders outside the woman's husband? In what capacity is the company buying properties for the husband's personal use?

Daddy, you can't hide much if she's got a personal vendetta against you. Unless the company is limited by shares owned by others, although she's allowed to dive into your own personal shares so long as she can prove they are yours.

That's fine then. A good lawyer will value the company and her assets, then go for half of your own share grin essentially, she won't be laying claims to individual properties ie, house , car, shoes tongue...she would be laying claims to half of your share value. Eventually, you would want to buy her out by paying premium. Unless you can prove that the coy is in distress, then you can outsmart her. I'm guessing her lawyer won't be dumb though.

I wish you success in your marriage o but if you want to hide investment/funds, then hide it in a venture that isn't known to her. Once she is aware of it, she's entitled to half at least wink no matter the camouflage.

I don't think any Judge will permit her to inherit a company share which is a different entity to her husband it will not work,the company pays her own tax and settle her own bills and can not be forced to come into divorce settlement, this will be a matter that the judge will be very careful with.

I advice guys to open company or business even if its a real estate agency company and hide their assets with this company.... In theory it will look like you have everything to her but when it comes to divorce she will discover you have nothing ,that all you have is just your shirts.

Funny you! So that legal entity fell from heaven ba? Yes, the entity operates as a private individual but it is owned by someone/people. Now, madam has no right to its operations/affairs but has a claim on it based on what her husband owns in it. Some husbands would at the point of incorporation divide shares between themselves, wives and children...just like you and your brother have done. Now, when the claimant wants to claim some of your properties, she would list her claims as certain percentage of your percentage holdings. Ie. 50% of your 55% shares in XYZ coy. She goes for your jugular and claim a certain percentage of everything in your name, God help you you ain't in naija.

However, in naija where most women are basically concerned about their children alone and some basic properties, you might not have to fight tooth and nail. Just give her the children and a workable allowance to be home free.

Why would any one be planning divorce bikonu? That woman that once rocked your world nko? She's still within, pls find her again. It is well.

So that the brother's wife can have a day in heaven when she wants to divorce said brother too grin.

If he passes it on to his mother. If mommy dies without a will or any legal instruction to revert the holdings back to him. Then gobe go burst if his siblings are greedy and not in the know.

If he listed the shares in his children's names, then they both remain joint administrators until the kids attain legal age.

If he relinquish to a pseudo person and she's able to dig the fact out...chai! He's will be in more trouble.

If he passes it on to a friend without a legal footprint and the friend gets too excited...gobe.

He should just go to equity with clean hands...may God bless him with a fair spouse.

Hmmmm...divorce is final oga. Explore other means before you two go that route. And if you must, you must complete the transfers before the date she files.

So you have never heard of lifting the veil?

So if you siphon funds using a company account, they should "arrest" the company?

I don't think your example has any place in this Argument,this is divorce matter and not a criminal case,so such extent of lifting veil will not arias.

Bros,
Things can go messy in a divorce case.

Let me tell you what one of my Chairmen did. He saw the handwriting on the wall as you're insinuating now, he moved his properties to his late dad's estate with the backing of a strong estate manager. He became a salary earner in his father's company.

Fast forward, the divorce came. As the brouhaha began he resigned from working. When the ex wife came up with her demands, he told the court he has none of such properties and income mentioned. Legally he has none.

After the intensive lawsuit the lady lost. When they pushed harder his siblings backed him that he used his properties to borrow from their late fathers estate unfortunately he lost it all in a failed importation.

That was it.

I hope you got the vibes.

You can open a company as a foundation for your parents.
Hide every property and funds in it. They accord yourself a paltry salary while you write off all the expenses from the company account.
Jeff Bizos earns $1 monthly yet owns and runs Amazon.

Once divorce is mentioned, resign.

There are many ways to escape such.

Since when did this divorce rape start happening in Naija?
I thought Naija was the last bastion for men in this world that is quickly becoming overly westernized.

Is divorce in Naija not as simple as sending her back to her father's house again?

I don't understand you this men. I expect you to use your head but yet I get disappointed everyday.
A woman will leave her life just for you, serve you and the kids but when you make the money it's for you alone abi leaving 10 to 20 years of her life for you.
If you can do it alone please do not marry just get a baby mama you can't have it all.
Women are not for serving men. You want a woman that is everything but you don't want to give anything who will leave a man because he is good kind and loving?
You african men are confused egomaniacs you say your mother is the most important person in your life yet you watch your father treat her anyhow and yet you treat wives the same way your father treated your mother .
Women if a man is not legally married to you he doesn't owe you shit. Work and make your money if you like cheat on him as long as you are happy don't sacrifice your life/happiness for one sperm donor.

Your the kind of person I love talking to,people that will show how it is done,thanks a million this is helpful. I spoke with a very good divorce lawyer and he said that in naija Mens wealth will never be split in a divorce, the worst thing that can happen is that the Judge will tell the man to rent an apartment for his now ex wife and be paying her monthly for the up keep of the kids which will be done through the court, once the kids turn 18 the man will stop paying for rent and the kids Up keep.....Naija no be America even If its a registry marriage
