Joseph- regarding assets I believe you’re incorrect. The husband isn’t entitled to gifts his wife received during the course of the marriage, only the “fruits of her labor”. For example if the husband gives the wife a necklace for her birthday; that stays hers. If she chooses to give it back of course she can but she has every right to sell it and keep the money. Same applies to gifts given by others. There are more complex situation where halacha can be complicated (say she volunteered for an organization and they gave her an expensive thank you gift).
