I would suggest that you change the account to a joint account and declare to the inland revenue that all interest will be paid to your wife. The interest could then be paid directly to her account since its a joint account.
As far as divorce or a breakup goes, any half decent solicitor would in any event ensure she got her share of the money.
Is this the case? I thought the interest on joint a/cs was treated as evenly split, but I'd be very happy to be wrong.
