Finding Hidden Assets in Divorce

When two people are getting a divorce, it is not uncommon that all trust and faith in the other person has been lost. In fact, many times, deceit and distrust are the root of the couple's marital problems that led to divorce in the first place. In working with an experienced divorce attorney, you can be certain that all disclosures accurately reflect all property and liabilities that should be considered in divorce proceedings, including assets that may have been hidden or concealed over the years.

California family law attorney Wendy Fountain provides clients with comprehensive legal advice and counsel as they confront divorce and the many legal obstacles that come with the divorce process. Our Orange County law firm is dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive guidance as well focus intently on preserving your interests.

You are entitled to a fair property division settlement. In California, that means an equal split of all marital assets and appreciated value of any separate assets. However, the only way to ensure property division is completely fair is to ensure that all property disclosures accurately reflect ALL assets and liabilities of both parties. Our board certified family law attorney has the experience and resources necessary to locate hidden assets, including:

• Vacation properties
• Bank accounts
• Investment accounts
• Stocks and bonds
• Other undisclosed income

If your spouse is living a lifestyle that appears to be beyond his or her means, it is possible that additional assets are being concealed. By reviewing tax returns, profit and loss statements, and other critical documentation, we identify other sources of income and assets that should be included in your divorce settlement.
