I have never heard of this being applied to spouses giving to children because 1; transactions between spouses are not reported or are reviewable by anyone, 2; private conversations and agreements between spouses are just that - private and cannot be reviewed even with a court order (spousal privilege) and 3; this type of giving from spouses to children is very common and done all the time reguardless of which spouse earned the money. Each spouse gives $15K to stay under the limit. Nothing to worry about.
