Marital Assets not Fully Disclosed? We Can Help
When a married couple has a high net worth, or a married couple has been together for a very long time, the marital assets can become complicated. In some cases, only one spouse is aware of the location and nature of the assets which can be held in multiple investments in the U.S. and in overseas accounts.
Giustino Capodilupo is an experienced Connecticut marital assets attorney who is adept at division of property and uncovering hidden assets.
Assets can be hidden either intentionally or unintentionally. Intentional non-disclosure of assets is marital fraud, which is a very serious offense in family law.
Ridgefield Hidden Assets Lawyer
Non-disclosure of an asset is highly frowned upon by judges in family court. In some instances, a hidden asset during a divorce can result in jail time. Connecticut has a discovery process that must be followed during the divorce process. At our law office, we conduct a full inventory of marital assets and request items including:
- All bank statements
- Three years of tax returns
- Credit card statements
- Business records as appropriate
- Business asset valuation as needed
- Statements for retirement accounts and investments
- Statements or records for any overseas accounts
- Retirement asset valuation
Our law firm has experience working with forensic accountants and other financial experts in instances where it may be difficult to follow a path to ownership or other money trails.
During a divorce, the marital assets are divided, and prior to that they must all be disclosed. At that time other issues are considered such as inheritance and tax consequences.
