S10 Ep34: Can My Ex Transfer Assets Right Before Filing?

#ChooseGoldman Moving money just before a divorce filing is not an invisible act, as Michigan courts closely examine the timing and intent of asset transfers. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that judges have the power to trace these movements and can order assets restored to the marital estate to ensure a fair division. • Judges recognize that divorce filings are often the result of months of planning, making last-minute transfers highly suspicious. • The court is not bound by the filing date as a strict cutoff and can look back at financial movements made in contemplation of divorce. • Sudden disappearances of cash serve as major red flags that often trigger a deeper investigation into the paper trail. • Michigan courts have the authority to use subpoenaed bank records to uncover hidden assets and verify the legitimacy of business moves. • If a transfer is found to be an attempt to bankrupt the marital estate, the judge can reverse the transaction or enjoin the parties from further spending. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/hbQOOSGKIV8 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
