I'm no lawyer but I think if this is a financial decision divorce with a little alimony and child support may be the solution your looking for. Now if you fight over who has to take the kids, remember that you may get stuck with them, and still have to pay alimony. The courts are always a risk. Now bank robbery could be viewed as a no lose scenario. If you don't get caught, it's a financial win, if you do get caught it's free room, board and Healthcare and no other financial obligations.
