How to Start Uncovering Hidden Assets During a Divorce

Are you suspecting that your spouse might be hiding assets during your divorce proceedings? It's a common concern, and being proactive about uncovering any potential hidden assets is crucial to ensuring a fair division of property. While it may seem like a daunting task, there are steps you can take on your own to start looking for hidden assets.

  1. Review Financial Documents: Start by gathering and reviewing financial documents such as bank statements, tax returns, business tax returns, and credit card statements. Look for any discrepancies or irregularities that could indicate hidden assets.

  2. Pay Attention to Mail: Take note of where financial statements and other important mail are being sent. If you notice that statements are being sent to business addresses or other unfamiliar locations, it could be a sign that your spouse is trying to hide assets.

  3. Access QuickBooks or Other Financial Software: If you have access to QuickBooks or other financial software used by your spouse or their business, take advantage of it. Download backup copies of financial records and run reports to gather information about accounts and transactions.

  4. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of any suspicious findings, including account numbers, transaction details, and mailing addresses. Consider taking photos or screenshots of relevant documents to preserve evidence.

  5. Seek Professional Help: If you're unsure about how to proceed or need assistance with uncovering hidden assets, consider seeking help from a financial expert or divorce attorney experienced in asset discovery.
