Support for Divorce Litigation: Hidden Assets by a Spouse

What to Do When a Spouse Hides Assets?

Divorce is often a difficult and painful end to a marriage. While it is emotionally challenging, it is made worse when one spouse unfairly manipulates the process, especially by concealing marital assets. This behavior is not only unethical but also causes significant financial harm to the other party.

Many unfaithful spouses are eager to end their marriages but shift the blame for the failed relationship onto the innocent party. To make matters worse, some spouses go to great lengths to hide joint assets, ensuring they retain the lion’s share of the wealth. This kind of manipulation is unjust and, sadly, not uncommon during divorce proceedings.

What Should You Do if You Suspect Hidden Assets?

If you believe you are a victim of asset concealment during your divorce, contacting Lex Solution Investigations can make a significant difference. Hidden assets are a widespread issue in divorce cases. Research estimates that up to 30% of divorces involve asset concealment or dissipation. That means nearly one in three divorce cases could involve financial deception.

Assets are often hidden by underreporting income or exaggerating expenses. Spouses may undervalue or even deny the existence of certain assets to reduce their financial obligations in the divorce settlement. It’s crucial to uncover these discrepancies to ensure a fair division of property.

How Can a Private Investigator Help?

At Lex Solution Investigations, we follow a methodical process to uncover concealed assets:

  1. Tax Return Examination: We review your spouse’s tax filings to verify that all bank accounts and financial holdings are properly disclosed.

  2. Income and Bank Analysis: A detailed comparison of your spouse’s declared income and bank deposits is conducted. Significant discrepancies could indicate the presence of secret accounts.

  3. Public Records Search: We search public databases to uncover any undisclosed property or jointly held assets.

  4. Comprehensive Financial Review: A full assessment of your spouse’s financial situation is performed to identify hidden or misreported assets.

The Legal Perspective

Hiding marital assets during a divorce is illegal. Both spouses are legally obligated to fully and honestly disclose all financial information, regardless of how minor it may seem. Courts demand accurate financial reporting and have penalized individuals found guilty of asset concealment. In many cases, hidden assets have been seized, and guilty parties face severe penalties.

If you suspect your spouse is not being truthful about their financial situation, it is critical to act promptly. The law is designed to ensure fairness and justice in divorce proceedings, and failing to report assets is a direct violation of these principles.
