It Never Pays to Falsify Documents
Lying about your finances never pays. When a spouse's net worth statement is permeated with fraud, assets that were not disclosed and later become known can be held against that spouse by the court.
At the Law Offices of Andrew J. Spinnell, LLC, in New York City, we pay close attention to all financial disclosures required in a divorce. This protects our clients from having potential allegations of financial fraud made against them. It also helps our clients achieve favorable outcomes in their divorces.
Putting false information in a financial affidavit — not disclosing assets you really own — is punishable by the courts. If you believe your spouse is failing to disclose important assets, take action. Contact our lawyers by calling 212-684-0317 or completing our online contact form.
Closely Examining Important Financial Documents for Hidden Assets
Litigation involves a great deal of paperwork and legal documents with countless details that all must be ordered and accounted for. At the Law Offices of Andrew J. Spinnell, LLC, we place great importance on these documents. Our founding attorney, Andrew Spinnell, began his career in academia as a Columbia-educated professor with a Ph.D. Academic success taught him how to write compelling legal arguments. These arguments are what gives our law firm an edge in New York courts.
When necessary, we partner with financial professionals, including forensic accountants, who are trained to closely examine documents to uncover marital fraud. Together we scrutinize tax records, bank account statements and other financial documents for inconsistencies. Often, marital fraud occurs when a couple owns a small business together. Spouses may document that these businesses are taking a loss when, in fact, the profit is being carefully hidden.
