I have been dealing with the "justice" system for years now and am absolutely terrified of civil court. It doesn't matter if all the facts show complete innocence of a party, all it takes is an idiot or two, along with a couple of bleeding hearts, and you can lose the case against you. All of the rules and protections that are given people in criminal court don't necessarily apply to civil court. What may not have been a good enough case for criminal prosecution is, in a lot of cases, plenty for a civil judgment against someone.
With all of that being said, I'd probably be real careful about transferring your belongings to someone else. Especially doing it in one fell swoop. Maybe over time, a little bit at a time and done well in advance of a judgment would probably be the way to go. Not that I know anyone who'd pulled that off, but............... Well, you get the idea.
Good luck to you and wish you the best. Just hang on to you butt though. And hire a real good civil attorney to defend you.
