The first step in seeking a fair property settlement in a divorce is to accurately inventory all of the assets and debts accumulated during a marriage. However, in many divorces, one party may intentionally or unintentionally withhold information critical to equitably distributing marital property as required under Florida law in divorce action. When this happens, we are poised to go to court on the client's behalf to compel the other party to produce the missing information and pay attorney's fees and costs incurred in bringing the matter before the court as a result of the other parties' intentional misconduct.
At the Thompson Law Group, P.A., we work proactively with clients to identify hidden assets and unreported income in a divorce action. Then, we work to protect our clients' personal and financial interests when it comes time to equitably divide property in a divorce.

Marital Fraud and Hidden Assets
When hidden assets are thought to be an issue in a divorce, the Thompson Law Group, P.A., works with forensic accountants and other expert witnesses to identify and value these assets. The issue of hidden assets can arise in both an individual and corporate context. Whether one spouse has intentionally withheld information about overseas assets, or an executive spouse has failed to fully disclose the value of business assets, advocacy from an experienced marital fraud attorney is critical.
Most parties entering into divorce proceedings are focused on the division of large assets in divorce, like real estate, bank accounts, and retirement accounts. However, smaller yet significant assets can still remain — and if these assets were acquired during the marriage, they are subject to property division. Our law firm is adept at identifying and valuing often-overlooked assets such as collections, stock options, antiques, and other items. Marital assets are subject to property division in a divorce. Our firm works proactively to identify what assets are jointly owned by parties in a divorce, and then we proceed with the property division process.
