Negotiating a settlement: Know your rights in a divorce

When negotiating a financial settlement at the time of divorce, it is important that both parties fully disclose the details of their financial position. Unfortunately, some parties facing high asset divorce may decide to conceal or fraudulently misrepresent the value of their savings, income or assets. If you believe that your partner or spouse is hiding assets, you can take action to protect your security and your rights. At De Leon and Associations, we are experienced in investigation of assets and working with relevant experts to protect your rights.

While courts do have some power to investigate the financial disposition of a party, it is also important to have an advocate on your side. Our attorneys will begin investigating immediately and uncover:

• Hidden accounts overseas
• Relevant documentation
• Stocks, bonds, or business assets
• Assets hidden by other relatives or new spouses
• Third party statements, including bank representatives
• Investigation of assets in hidden accounts

After uncovering the assets, we will apply our skill and knowledge, working with experts where necessary to accurately determine the value of those assets. We are experienced with the complex division of assets including real estate, businesses, pension funds, stocks, bonds, and other retirement accounts. After a valuation by independent experts, we will aggressively pursue your rights to ensure your recover the assets and property you are entitled to after divorce.

If you believe that assets may be removed from the jurisdiction or that accounts may be drained before a divorce order is finalized, it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. We may be able to seek a court order to stop spending or the removal of funds. It is very important that the financial settlement be done accurately, as absent a showing of actual fraud, it is very difficult to modify the terms after the final order is issued.
