It would be of no benefit attempting to protect their assets. The prosecutors will most likely follow the money trail which will be quite evident by whatever distribution of marital assets BEFORE the filing of divorce. I don't know about their financial assets but I'm 100% certain the legal fees about to be incurred from his pending legal case will most likely consume much of it before any civil action will be started. After all he was a 19 year civil service veteran with a boatload of complaints. How much savings could they have?

Perhaps the civil suit may come from former victims and from George Floyd's families against the municipality that kept on this police officer with many complaints. Their will be a need to answer the question of WHY keep this person on the police department?

Just my highly educated personal opinion.
