Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce?

An anonymous reader writes "I am a long time Slashdotter and currently find myself in the beginning of a divorce process. How have you dealt with dispersing of shared data, accounts and things online in such a situation? Domains, hosting, email, sensitive data backups and social media are just a few examples."

    How have you dealt with dispersing of shared data

    If only there were a way to make multiple copies of digital information...

    That was the most round-about way ever of saying "My parents are throwing my 38 year old ass out of the basement."

    I'm only saying this so that others may learn from your mistake.

    So says Forever Alone guy! Yes, it's a mistake to trust anybody. By trust nobody you can ensure your heart remains perfectly safe and you, perfectly alone. This guy decided to take a risk, and yes, maybe in this one case it didn't work out for him, but at least he tries to have someone in his life who's last name isn't JPEG.

    This discussion is tiring. I'd like a pre-nap right now.

    Apparently, you've never seen a spy movie. Of course you can't! There's just the one disk and that's it!

    No! That's stealing! You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet and go to the toilet in it... would you?

    It's not that hard, but somehow it's much less satisfying than burning paper copies. Plus there's the gasoline, and the smell...

    No, unless the previous night I was REALLY drunk.

    "We're on a mining ship, three million years into deep space... can someone explain to me where the smeg I got this traffic cone?"

    "Hey! It's not a good night unless you get a traffic cone! It's the police woman's helmet and the suspenders I don't understand!"

    No.

    Destroy everything leave nothing to your spouse. Divorces are never pretty.

    Pyrrhic victory for the win!

    Simple solution here is to have separate backup files of separate data. How hard is it to set the routine to make a backup of "robs documents" and another of "debs documents"?

    If my wife knew about Deb that would make the divorce inevitable and immediate.
