Hidden asset recovery doesn't happen by chance. You have to be able to evaluate financial documents. You have to know what questions to ask in a deposition. You have to be absolutely precise in your discovery requests at the same time. Of equal importance is your willingness and ability to try these issues in court.
Lawyers at Engel Law Group have the critical discovery and litigation skills needed to identity hidden assets and to effect their recovery back where they belong — in the marital estate. For a free consultation about divorce and the recovery of hidden assets — call 206.625.9800 or contact us online and we will get back to you soon.
Hidden Asset Recovery: How It Works
In basic terms, hidden asset recovery results from a financial investigation. You look at the financial records. You follow the money. In some cases, this may require the use of forensic accountants or other types of financial specialists. We have done many such investigations over the years and have helped many individuals to obtain the "just and equitable" share of the marital property they deserve under the laws of Washington State.
NOTE: In order to be valid, prenuptial agreements require a full and honest financial disclosure from both parties. In other words, if your spouse did not fully disclose his or her assets — the entire agreement is invalid and everything becomes fair game again.
What Can You Do to Help Your Own Cause?
The first thing to know is this: A little pre-divorce planning can go a long way toward helping your own cause here. What that entails is that in the weeks immediately before you file a divorce petition you can and should gather bank records, pay stubs, quarterly statements from your investments and any other financial documents you have access to. Our attorneys will then go over these records closely to identify possible discrepancies and locate hidden assets if they exist.
