Discovering a spouse's hidden assets is crucial in a time of imminent divorce when your husband or wife might be trying to conceal things of high monetary value that you have a right to a portion of. For example, your spouse could have a secret business, property, bank account or other items that you're not supposed to know about. A few basic tactics can illuminate if your spouse is hiding anything from you.
You'll Need...
- Computer
- Attorney or Private Investigator
Suggestions
- Visit websites like peoplesearch.com, zabasearch.com, whitepages.com, ussearch.com and peoplefinders.com, among others. Conduct a very basic name search. Some of these sites are free and some cost a few dollars but they can help illuminate if your spouse has any contact information, businesses or property that you never knew about.
- Examine your spouse's tax return from the previous years. Look for red flags such as business names, massive purchases or write-offs, alternative addresses and other items.
- Look around the house for red flags. For example, a careful search of the house could uncover banking information or property deeds that he doesn't want you to know about. You might even find a key to a safe deposit box that you never knew existed. Look carefully through financial and legal papers, reading each one, noting each document's meaning. You could find the receipt to a post office box that you didn't know your spouse had.
- Check the mail carefully. Note if your husband receives mail from credit card companies or banks that you didn't know he had accounts with.
- Hire a private investigator or assets investigation attorney if you uncover even the slightest amount of proof that your spouse is hiding assets from you. These professionals have tools and resources that you as a civilian do not have. These professionals can research this issue and tell you specifically what kinds of assets your spouse has and for how long he has had them.
