Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my spouse doesn’t fully disclose their assets?
In a divorce, both parties are expected to disclose all assets so a fair financial settlement can be agreed. If one party does not properly comply, any settlement can be set aside (i.e. cancelled). And if it’s found they’ve done so deliberately, then they may be charged with fraud as part of further legal proceedings.
What type of assets could my spouse be hiding?
The most commonly hidden assets are money, shares, investments, properties, and businesses. Fortunately, these are all traceable, even if they’re hidden across multiple jurisdictions.
What can I do if I think my spouse will attempt to hide assets?
You can take preventative action to stop your spouse by applying for a court order to freeze their assets. Such action is why it’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible.
