Concealment of assets in a divorce

When two people are dissolving a marriage, many areas of their lives will be impacted, such as taxes, pensions, estate planning, credit, etc.

Sometimes there can be an attempt by one or even both parties to hide money or assets so they will not have to relinquish it in the divorce settlement.  What about the person who has hidden money or assets from his or her partner throughout the entire marriage?  In court, the couple has an obligation to be honest and forthright.

There are numerous ways a spouse might try to hide assets.  During the divorce, the court will order that no unusual transactions take place; therefore, anything that is unusual could be a sign of concealment.
