S4 E35 When the Numbers Don’t Add Up: Hidden Money & Divorce

When the Numbers Don’t Add Up: Hidden Money & Divorce What happens when the financial picture your ex is presenting just doesn’t make sense? A bonus suddenly disappears. A successful business is suddenly worth almost nothing. There’s a mysterious loan to family. Or accounts and assets you never knew existed. In this episode, we look at some of the common red flags around financial disclosure during divorce — and what you can do when the numbers don’t add up. We cover: • Delayed income and bonuses • Suddenly struggling businesses • Overpaid tax • Loans to family or friends • Hidden accounts, assets and debt • Financial abuse • What information you should gather • When to ask your lawyer for deeper investigation You don’t need to become a forensic accountant. You need to know what questions to ask. Because you cannot claim what you can’t see. This is general financial information, not legal advice. Always speak with your family lawyer about your individual circumstances. This is episode two of my three-part series on money and divorce. Next up: rebuilding your financial life and becoming the woman who owns her money on purpose.
