Hiding Assets in a Divorce
When going through a divorce, both parties are supposed to reveal any and all assets they have so that the process of dividing assets is as fair and accurate as possible. However, in some divorces, one or both spouses may try to hide assets to keep them from being divided or given to the other spouse.

Hiding Assets
If you are worried that your spouse is hiding assets from you, it is important to contact an experienced legal advisor who can advise you on what actions you can take. Assets may be hidden through various methods, including:
- Hidden bank accounts
- False debt schemes with personal acquaintances, who return the money after the divorce
- Hiding the true value of antiques and collectibles
- Putting money into traveler’s checks
- Setting up a bank account in a child’s name
More often than not, a thorough examination of bank statements, receipts, and other methods of investigation can bring hidden assets to light. In many situations, these assets are split between the spouses as part of their divorce settlement.
