Preserving Your Financial Security By Uncovering Hidden Assets Through Forensic Accounting
During a divorce, especially between high net worth spouses, you may be concerned that your spouse will try to conceal assets. Some spouses resort to any tactic to reduce the value of the marital estate and deny you a fair share.
I’m Lorri Fishman, a Fort Lauderdale divorce attorney with over 25 years of experience protecting clients against these dubious actions. Being divorced myself, I understand how stressful it can be to worry about your financial well-being after your marriage ends. I’m here to help ease your mind.
I diligently work to ensure that your spouse complies with Florida’s equitable distribution requirements for disclosing property. That can involve collaborating with skilled financial forensic accountants to reveal hidden assets, so you can receive a fair distribution.
Uncovering The Methods Spouses Use To Hide Or Dissipate Marital Assets
Florida family law mandates the full disclosure of all property by both spouses during a divorce. However, some spouses go to great lengths to hide or dissipate assets. Here are some common methods used:
- Overpaying their taxes to receive a refund after the divorce
- Transferring money to friends or relatives to hold until after the divorce
- Purchasing expensive items that could be overlooked or undervalued
- Creating false debt to reduce the overall value of the marital estate
- Underreporting income or delaying contracts or bonuses
- Stashing cash in a safe deposit box or secret accounts
- Investing in cryptocurrency or other less traceable assets
- Transferring assets to dummy corporations or offshore accounts
I will leave no stone unturned to protect your interests and hold your spouse accountable to secure what is rightfully yours. That may include arguing your case in front of a judge.
