    Default Savings Account & Postnuptial agreement & Child support

    I'm planning to file divorce soon.

    Me and my wife have separate checking & savings accounts.
    I have good savings (around 40k) and I am not willing to share a dime with her since while I was working in 3 jobs 20/hrs a day, she was playing farmville 20/hrs a day.
    Last year I was about to file divorce, she promised to change and accepted to sign post-nuptial agreement. Nothing changed since then and I will take care of the unfinished business.

    If she signs post-nuptial agreement agreement before I file divorce stating that anything under my name is mine, may court disregard the agreement and give half of my savings to her? Should I trust or transfer the money to my parents account?

    child supporticon only based on the money I and she makes or can judgeicon increase the amount of child support after looking at my accounts?

    Can I also put restrictions on child support I would pay? Such as, money will be deposited an account under my son's name, and that money can only be used for his expenses, not my wife's clothing & jewelery & makeups?

    Thanks in advance.

    child supporticon is based on income, not savings. No, you will not be able to set those kinds of conditions for child support.

    Sounds like the savings is a marital asset.

    A properly drafted and executed postnup may help to protect assets.
