Divorce & Hidden Asset Cases

When You Suspect Hidden Assets in a Divorce

Divorce cases involving substantial assets almost always involve some degree of financial gamesmanship. Spouses hide income through cash businesses, undervalue assets, transfer property to family members or shell entities, overstate debts, and manipulate business financials to reduce their apparent net worth.

A qualified forensic accountant or certified fraud examiner can uncover what's being hidden. Asset tracing, income analysis, lifestyle audits, business valuation reviews, and bank record reconstruction are all standard tools in this work.

What Our Experts Do in Divorce Cases

The experts in our network have handled divorce and hidden asset cases across Arkansas and Louisiana. Typical engagements include:

• Tracing assets through bank accounts, investment accounts, real estate records, and business entities
• Analyzing income — especially from cash-heavy or self-employment sources
• Reviewing business financials for signs of manipulation (overstated expenses, understated revenue, personal expenses run through the business)
• Conducting lifestyle analysis to identify spending inconsistent with reported income
• Providing expert testimony on financial findings in court

Why a CFE Matters in Family Law

Family law attorneys know that financial evidence wins or loses divorce cases. But most attorneys aren't trained to dig through bank records, business tax returns, and financial statements. That's where a certified fraud examiner comes in. A CFE brings the investigative skills to find what's hidden and the courtroom experience to present it clearly to a judge.

Our network includes experts who have been court-qualified as expert witnesses in both Arkansas and Louisiana courts — meaning they've already been through the credentialing process and accepted by judges in these jurisdictions.
