Hidden Assets and Divorce

Hidden Assets and Income in Divorce and Domestic Matters

Financial Disputes in Matrimonial Law

Over the past ten years, an increasing number of clients have been referred to New York lawyer Sanford F. Young to assist or take over problematic matrimonial matters, or appeal from unfair and arbitrary decisions and awards involving highly-contested financial issues.

Problem cases typically involve prolonged trials, impatient judges, unreasonably belligerent spouses, unreported income, other hidden assets and lawyers who are outclassed and intimidated by unscrupulous adversaries.

Among the select cases Mr. Young and his staff handle are cases and appeals involving equitable distribution, alimony and child support awards, post-judgment enforcement and legal fee requests.

Hidden Assets and Divorce in New York and New Jersey

In the area of equitable distribution, this law firm handles highly disputed financial cases involving such matters as hidden assets and fraud. Complex matrimonial cases require the analysis of a sophisticated attorney. Forensic accountants' work may be of value only if properly supervised and applied by a sophisticated lawyer.

Typical divorce cases involving hidden assets and income include situations where:

• A spouse/party is self-employed
• A spouse/party works for a family owned business
• A spouse/party works for or has ownership in a cash business
• A spouse/party has more than one source of income
• There is a substantial disparity between the income, assets, age or background of the spouses
• The parties have maintained a standard of living (expensive homes, cars, travel, and domestic help) that could not have been paid for by known or reported income and assets

The Law Offices of Sanford F. Young, P.C.'s efforts and experience are geared to uncovering and handling the financial aspects of divorce, including disclosure of hidden assets.
