How Divorce Lawyers Deal with Spousal Lies and Hidden Agendas
Common Forms of Spousal Deception
In many divorce cases, one party may attempt to manipulate the outcome by withholding or misrepresenting key information. Divorce lawyers are trained to identify and challenge these tactics.
- Hidden Income or Bank Accounts
Some spouses attempt to conceal earnings through offshore accounts, undeclared cash jobs, or diverting income to third parties. Divorce lawyers use financial disclosure rules and forensic accountants to uncover hidden assets. - Misrepresentation of Debts or Expenses
A common tactic includes inflating personal debts or expenses to reduce obligations such as spousal or child support. Lawyers will review financial statements, credit reports, and past bank transactions to verify accuracy.
