Holding Your Spouse Accountable for Failure to Disclose

In some divorce cases, the parties will try to hide assets by depositing them in hidden bank accounts, using them to make personal investments, transferring them to the names of other people or businesses, or using other devious and dishonest methods.

Our attorneys work with qualified experts to identify and trace hidden assets. If they can be located, the revelation of hidden assets can have a major impact on your divorce case.

The property division process in divorce is based on a system of laws, but even more importantly on a system of justice. That system depends on the honesty of both parties.

Family court judges have broad authority to respond to the failure to disclose assets in divorce cases. There have been cases where substantial community assets that were originally hidden by one spouse are eventually awarded entirely to the other spouse.

Diligently Investigating Every Reasonable Suspicion

In our experience, many suspicions about hidden assets turn out to be unfounded. However, we will fully pursue any concerns you may have. If your spouse is hiding assets, the impact on your case can be major, and if not, a barrier to settlement may be removed.

If you are worried about your spouse accumulating hidden assets, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your options with an experienced California divorce lawyer.
