Precautions To Ensure A Fair Property Division

While you cannot entirely prevent your spouse from concealing assets, you can take certain precautions to mitigate that risk, including:

• Remaining informed of your financial situation. The partner who is not in charge of the family finances is usually the victim of concealed assets. Heading into divorce, you need to fully understand all of your assets, debts, investments, financial statements and retirement accounts. The more familiar you are with your financial standing, the easier it will be for you to identify questionable transactions or reporting techniques.
• Monitoring your spouse’s spending and lifestyle habits. Your spouse may try to conceal assets through expensive purchases or gifts to friends and family. Higher than expected spending habits may also indicate that he or she has more resources than previously disclosed. Carefully monitor your spouse’s actions to identify problematic behavior.
• Discussing your situation with our qualified lawyers. We understand what tactics individuals use to conceal assets, and we can skillfully identify areas of concern to ensure an equitable property division. Our attorneys will thoroughly evaluate your assets and employ all available tools to uncover information.

While asset concealment can negatively impact any divorce settlement, it is more common in high-asset divorce cases where families have more complex investment strategies and significantly more assets to keep track of.
