Re: Hidden Assets
If you can show that in fact your spouse is transferring assets in preparation of divorce, you can ask the court to undo these transfers as they would be considered fraudulent in nature. I would also recommend filing sooner then later because once you file you can as the court for an emergency restraining order to prevent your spouse from transferring any more property. If you need to find hidden assets I would recommend hiring a reputable private investigator.
