Experienced in Complex Divorce Matters

Many unexpected problems arise during a divorce. Unless you have a pre-marital agreement, it is unlikely that you have a firm idea of how assets will be divided. Remember that assets go beyond just finances and personal property. Any shared property will need to be split between both parties. This includes real estate, businesses, cars, boats, and more.

Our firm focuses exclusively on family law, and we have assisted clients with complex divorce issues such as:

• Spousal support/alimony
• Equitable division of assets
• High-net-worth divorce
• Divorce for business owners

It is complicated matters like these that make it important to have an attorney looking out for your interests. Even when both parties want to cooperate, it’s difficult to settle on a fair arrangement without assistance from experienced legal professionals.

We Uncover Hidden Assets During Divorce

In situations where one feels that a spouse is attempting to hide assets during a divorce, a person may feel it vital to enlist the services of a third party to locate these assets. However, this might not always be necessary and there could be certain places to look that may help a person identify assets that were previously hidden. For instance, experts suggest that in some cases, individuals who wish to identify all marital assets prior to entering legal proceedings need to look no further than recent tax records.

Tax filings may hold records of mutual funds and financial accounts one may have previously been unaware of. These records may also show gains and losses from stocks and fund shares. Checking recent tax filings could also help a person uncover income from the sale of stocks or bonds, or even revenue from rental properties or business endeavors.

Unfortunately, knowing where to look might only be half the battle, and knowing what to look for may also be vital. For guidance on how to uncover the presence of hidden assets in a divorce, a person in New Jersey could benefit from speaking with a family law attorney early in the process. An attorney can help a client gain a better understanding of how to identify and value all marital assets and assist him or her in pursuing a fair and equitable portion during subsequent legal proceedings.

Everyone has their own priorities in a divorce. It can be easy to get caught up in fights over things that ultimately won’t matter much when all is said and done. We help our clients stay focused on the future, fighting for things that will matter most to them in the final outcome.
