In a bank deposit division dispute following a divorce in Fujian, the court ruled that the husband's transferred funds constitute marital property; the wife was awarded 60% of the assets.
Case Summary
Plaintiff Chen (female) and defendant Li (male) registered their marriage on 2016/5/20. In 2024/4, Plaintiff Chen filed a lawsuit with the court requesting divorce from defendant Li and equitable division of the marital joint property. During the proceedings, the court found that five months prior to the filing of the divorce suit, defendant Li unilaterally transferred a total of 180 ten thousand yuan in joint marital savings from his bank account to his parents' accounts in multiple transactions without Plaintiff Chen's knowledge. Plaintiff Chen asserts that the 180 ten thousand yuan constitutes marital joint property and that defendant Li engaged in transferring and concealing such assets; therefore, the property should be divided with defendant Li receiving a smaller share or no share at all. Plaintiff Chen requests an allocation of 60% for herself and 40% for the defendant.
