Forensic Accounting Services In Divorce Cases

Settling financial disputes during a divorce can lead to long back-and-forths, and intensified stress – particularly if one party is withholding information or not being honest about their portfolio of assets. With the help of a professional forensic accountant, you can remove much of the ambiguity surrounding your partner’s finances, ensuring any hidden income, properties or assets are revealed well in advance.

At Goodwins Family Law Solicitors, we can put you in contact with leading forensic accountants who will carry out thorough matrimonial investigations on your behalf. A forensic accountant works diligently to uncover any assets or income which your spouse may be hiding during a divorce. For divorce proceedings which involve a complicated portfolio of financial assets, a forensic accountant will be able to help the divorce process be smoother and more transparent.

Most essentially, forensic accountants will provide you with insight into the true value of a company. Often, the profit margins of a company doesn’t tell the entire story. A forensic accountant can identify how costs, ingoings and outgoings are divided. Due to a variety of arrangements, profit of a company could be higher, or lower, than initially stated.

Rent, expense accounts, extra financial benefits and more will all be accounted for thanks to the methods employed by a trained forensic accountant. This level of transparency is essential when moving forward with a legal case involving complex asset collections.

While we are not forensic accountants ourselves, we have strong working relationships with forensic accountants who can work with you from early on in the divorce process. We can connect you with specialists who can handle personal and business asset evaluations, carrying out in-depth investigations to uncover income or assets that have yet to be disclosed.

Financial forensics in divorce can ensure the final split of assets is as fair and clear as possible. If you suspect that your spouse is keeping personal or business assets secret from you, Goodwins Family Law Solicitors can help you find the right forensic accountant for you – just contact us today.
