Case Study: Property Settlement - Hiding Assets

We acted for the wife in a property settlement where the husband was deliberately hiding assets in complicated trust and business structures.

Our thorough and independent investigations revealed that the husband had maintained another bank account which he refused/failed to disclose during the family law disclosure process.

Our enquiries revealed a significant and concerning gambling habit that the husband had hidden from the wife for years.

We issued subpoenas to several gambling establishments, revealing that over the course of several years the husband had squandered hundreds of thousands of joint fund, without the knowledge of consent of the wife.

The revelation had the effect of increasing the marital property pool through claw-backs, and ensuring a fair outcome for the wife to move forward with her life.
