I saw an amusing sticker ( in a sad way ) the other day on the back of a car, it 
read: "You never really know your spouse until you meet them in the Family 
Court". Obviously someone embittered by a nasty divorce.

Not wanting to sound similarly embittered I would suggest regardless that you do 
make sure that you protect yourself against your spouse as well as the Client. 
Things have a small chance of going wrong with the client, but over time a large 
chance of going wrong with your spouse. If you run a small business in this 
field then you probably work under a fair bit of pressure & as a result aren't 
helping with the longevity of the marriage.

When things fly apart, normally sane & rational people have been known to get 
pretty gnarly, trust is out the window. That is not a good time to have to try 
to recover your personal share of a large portion of your lifetime, and future 
security in aging. It sounds pretty callous but don't build the structure of 
your own demise, the person you sign your assets over to now is nothing like the 
person that you will be trying to get a share back from later on.

The person in the car was obviously deeply embittered to feel the need to 
publicly display the sign but it did provide a valid warning none the less...
