Forensic Accounting and Financial Investigation

How do you find hidden assets in a divorce?

Finding hidden assets in a divorce involves a systematic financial investigation using bank records, tax returns, business records, and lifestyle analysis. A forensic analyst looks for red flags such as unexplained cash withdrawals, transfers to undisclosed accounts, undervalued business interests, and lifestyle expenses that exceed reported income. The process includes document discovery, tracing funds, and reconstructing the actual financial picture from the paper trail that every transaction leaves behind.

What are the signs of financial dissipation in a divorce?

Financial dissipation occurs when one spouse wastes, spends, or transfers marital assets for purposes unrelated to the marriage, typically in anticipation of divorce. Common signs include large cash withdrawals, excessive spending on a new partner, gambling losses, transfers to friends or family, and unusual business expenses. In Utah, dissipated assets can be added back to the marital estate and credited to the innocent spouse, making it important to identify and document the dissipation.
