Lots of people worry that their spouse is hiding assets in their divorce. But looking for hidden assets only makes sense if the amount you stand to gain if you find them is greater than the amount you stand to lose by looking for them.
The trouble is, since the assets you think your spouse hid are (by definition) HIDDEN, how can you KNOW if there's enough hidden to make launching an investigation worthwhile?
You start by examining 3 things:
1. Opportunity - Did your spouse have the opportunity to hide money in your divorce?
2. Ability - Does your spouse have the ability to hide financial assets and/or physical assets in your divorce? and
3. Character - Does your spouse have a history of being deceptive in your marriage? Or, has your spouse been more or less honest during your marriage?
If your spouse had the opportunity, ability, and (lack of) character it takes to hide money in a divorce, then you need to look for red flags that will show you there's hidden money.
Some of those red flags are:
1. Your spouse is purposely keeping financial information from you;
2. You suddenly notice large cash withdrawals being made from your bank account.
3. Your expenses mysteriously increased for no reason that you can figure out.
4. Your spouse claims his/her income has suddenly gone down, or his/her business is tanking for no apparent reason.
5. You notice credit card payments to people/businesses you've never interacted with while your marriage was intact.
These and other red flags may be enough to warrant a further investigation.
If you do decide to take the next step and look for hidden money in your divorce, you'll need to do two things:
1. Gather a LOT of financial information (NOTE: If you don't have the information you need you may have to have your lawyer subpoena it. You may also need an investigator to locate it); and
2. Hire an expert (a forensic accountant or CPA) to analyze the data.
Ultimately, you can plow a lot of time and money into an investigation that may or may not bear fruit. That's why one of the most important questions you can ask yourself in your divorce is whether you want to dig for hidden money in your divorce ... or not.
