Tracing hidden assets
In divorce settlements, a court must decide what is fair for both parties when they order how assets are divided.
All too often, many divorces are not settled fairly because of what is known as 'NON-DISCLOSURE'. This is a failure by a party to the divorce to properly disclose all of their assets and liabilities.
As a consequence, one party may be awarded more, or sometimes less, then they are entitled to by law.
The most significant problem with non-disclosure, is proof. It is not enough to dispute a declaration by saying 'I know that's wrong because....' any allegation needs to be backed up with hard evidence, such as documentation that clearly shows that the allegation has considerable weight.
Without such evidence, the allegation will in all likelihood be dismissed.
