IANAL but couldnt you move the ownership of the assets (the house) into a discretionary trust (local or foreign) and then you dont actually own the house the trust does?

Then there woul be nothing to take from you in the event of "divorce"?

You can setup a trust for 1-2k and gift the assets to the trust...

Interested to hear from anyone who knowsabout this?

Also i really love the quote from Tacitus a 1st century Roman Philosopher (AD 55-110)

“In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.”

also written as

"The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government"

The best thinking i have seen on this issue is from the French 18th centuary Legal Philosopher Frederic Bastiat in his book "The Law" (free in Audiobook or HTML as copyright expired long long ago)

To commit a crime, you must break a law. So you real question is what what is a law?

What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense. http://bastiat.org/en/the_law.html#SECTION_G004

Bastiat argues that there are unalienable Rights - Life, Liberty and Property - Don't kill me, don't steal my shit and don't take away might right to exert myself upon the world (assuming these things don't restrict anybody else's right to these rights)

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” http://www.bastiatinstitute.org/2010/11/08/unalienable-rights-of-life-liberty-and%E2%80%A6-property/

But Bastiat argues that the role of the law has been perverted!

But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.

I agree with this, and i think there any many things that are a crime that go against the origins of what is law. For example: Personal use of marijuana or "thought crimes" which are increasingly being enforced under new terrorism laws.

I can strongly recommend downloading and reading The Law
