=========================================================== You are not going to be able to get away with tricking your wife into giving you power of attorney and then filing for divorce on her behalf. And give yourself everything. ===========================================================
I was specifically thinking of Texas "default" divorce law which provides that, BY LAW, if the party being divorced does not respond in any way--to any communication from the court--a default judgement is issued after 90 days, and then becomes final. Both parties keep whatever they presently have, by title or possession.
Of course any motion for "discovery" would require a response, but I would have no intention of filing such a motion, researching my own assets on behalf of my wife, or otherwise assuming that there was an "adversarial" relationship between myself as her attorney-in-fact, and myself, personally!
