[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,315756]Hey whats up Inquiet,

I haven't gotten married yet or have any experience such as Apault but I can offer you want my father did regarding this issue.

In your case, you should set up a joint account with your new wife's name on the account (unless you don't trust her). My mother and father both set up accounts with both names and my dad handles all the bill paying, deposits etc and my mom would just withdraw money to pay for food and family stuff. Its not just Chinese women but all women in general would have some feeling towards having a say in there financial situation. To not have a voice in this relationship and have to ask for money to buy groceries could create problems, which is how my parents worked towards a system that works for them. All accounts have both names so that there is no argument and my mother never has to ask for money to buy groceries and supplies.

Inquiet, this may be overreaching of me but I wanted to throw this thought in since this subject is about Chinese wife+finances+living in US+ buffer zone but have you ever thought about the Chinese Filial Piety Stipend? LOL its not actually a real term but I believe every Chinese born male or female has this responsibility instilled in them and that since you marry a Chinese female that it has to come up sooner or later.

Such as for me, I expect that when I do marry that my Chinese wife and I will arrange the financial situation to our liking as well as factor in a monthly stipend for her parents because I will have married there only child.

Just food for thought,
Good Luck
