This money is actually solely under his name. In actuality it was not a gift.. it is actually his parents money that they do not want under their name.. hiding it from the IRA...
Is the money fair game?? I do not want it.. but he is fighting me for other things so I want to know where I stand.

Legally, you may have some claim to it. But respectfully, it is their money and kind of his. I say leave it alone. Pretend it does not exist.

You said in your question "given to him as a gift" then you say "it was not a gift", hmm. Did you do that just so people would answer the question? If you said it was not a gift to begin with, it would seem more like a "problem question" then what you have.
In response: Being that it is not your money, not under your name, all you can do is suggest to him, you are not comfortable hiding money for his parents. You could have him tell his parents, if they don't take the money back, he might use it. Thats the truth ain't it? You said so in your question. I apoligize if I sound like I am attacking you. I'm not. I just want to answer the question in my opinion, and to the best of my ability.
This is what I would do. I would be upset at my husband, in fact, if he agreed to help someone and hide something like that. It's not like he was letting them hold a brand new car in ya'lls garage till someones birthday or something. *Shrugs*
Good luck and have a great day.

Sounds like you do want it....!!! "Fighting you for other things"
If the money was given as you stated....as a wedding gift...then yes it is both yours. If the parents are on his side and if a problem arises legally and they say it was a Birthday Gift to the Son...or similar statement...it could just get ugly...And in that case no it is not yours. Community property well, in a court of law, probably would say it is both yours...If the Parents come in to testify....who's side will they be on???
I think if this were me....I would get a part time job....and have my own bank account......for my own sanity....and self preservation. (Actually, I do have that...and we have a joint account) Works out great...

The man is your husband, Marrage are not WHAT IS YOURS IS MINE AND WHAT IS MINE IS MINE. What is his is your and what is your is his. There should be any problem in marrage about money, because the both of you are trying to go on in life together. If you don't want the money is ok but if hes fighting about something else, that is messed up. Like I said before, whatever belongs to the both of you, is for the both of you. Talk to your husband and handle the situation by talking to each other and understand each other. Don't do anything drastic if there is no need for it.

The money doesn't belong to anyone, what they are doing is illegal and they (you) can serve time in Federal Prison. Your husband and his parents are committing a Federal Crime, be thankful that your name is not in this. But because you know you need to report it or you can be brought up on charges as well. Good Luck.

Legally it probably is but I think that you know that the RIGHT thing is that it is NOT yours. Do what is RIGHT, not what is Legal
I cannot believe how many pathetically greedy people are on here. If this money really is his parents, she should NOT go after it. Why are people so out for revenge and to destroy other people all the time?

Is his parent English? The Irish Republican Army are a tough group to hide from so I wouldn't mess with the money.

Did he get it during the marriage? If he did, it should be fair game. I think a court would call a wedding gift fair game too.
But I'm not a lawyer

I'm not a lawyer, but depending on where you live I would think that in a divorce situation it would be half yours. As far as getting to it while still married, you probably can't.

Gifts, inheritance etc are generally not marital property unless they are co-mingled with other marital assets. Get a life!
