What is the difference between “marital property” and “non-marital property”?
In an “equitable distribution” state, all property acquired during the marriage is “marital property” and all property owned before the marriage is “non-marital” property. Gifts or inheritances to either spouse during the marriage is non-marital property
If you do not declare this account you would be guilty of deception, in addition to apparently having absolutely no respect for your spouse
UK: The law asks you to declare what financial asserts you have…( depending on what country you live in and the laws in that country)..however as a separation/divorce it is civil law not criminal law I do know that people do not declare ‘everything’ the court will not investigate and the other party would have to prove that the bank account exists..bank name, account number and amount and even then I am aware that if the person who owns it still denies its existence the court do not investigate…however it is deception.
You need to look at the laws in your country about matrimonial assets before you will know if you ’should’/ ‘need to’ declare
