Finding Hidden Assets
NJ Property Division Divorce Attorney
In an ideal situation, both parties involved in a New Jersey divorce would be upfront and honest about all of their assets and liabilities. Through honesty and effective communication, those assets and liabilities can then be valued and divided accordingly. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Shortly before filing for divorce or during a difficult NJ divorce, some spouses may attempt to hide their assets to prevent them from being subjected to equitable distribution. In these situations, a seasoned divorce attorney can assemble a team to help track down the missing assets.
Full Disclosure
New Jersey law requires that all parties involved in an NJ divorce disclose all of their assets. While failure to disclose assets can be deliberate, in some cases it can be a simple oversight. Understanding what assets are classified as marital property and what assets are classified as separate property can prevent any unnecessary confusion during the divorce process. Divorcing New Jersey couples must disclose all of their income, assets, debts, and liabilities including:
-
Homes
-
Real estate
-
Bank or savings accounts
-
Pensions
-
Retirement accounts (ie. 401K accounts)
-
Business ownerships
-
Stock options
-
And more
