Are Hidden Assets Common in Divorce Cases?

Hidden assets in divorce cases are more common than people think--especially in high value divorces. Of course, no one wants to believe that their former spouse would deceive them in this way, but unfortunately, it is a common problem in divorce cases. Not only is this illegal, but it makes it much more difficult to reach a settlement in the end.

How Do Hidden Assets Take Place?

Hidden assets can take place in many different forms. From overstating debts, to claiming personal expenses as business expenses, to understating marital property, to reporting a lesser than actual income, to hiding an offshore bank account, to hiding assets with family or friends, and so much more. There is definitely no shortage of ways that spouses (illegally) hide their assets.
