My spouse is hiding assets in offshore bank accounts and companies, what can I do?

All parties in a divorce are under a duty to provide “full and frank” disclosure. This means that they have to tell you about all their assets and income. Unfortunately, some wealthy spouses think that they can hide their assets – placing them under the control of companies, or moving them offshore.

Vardags are very experienced in these types of cases. Our in-house forensic accountancy team can search for assets across the globe, and are experienced at understanding and unravelling complicated corporate structures.

Where a party avoids disclosing assets, we can highlight the inconsistencies in their evidence and show to the court that money is missing. Often this is enough for the court to draw adverse inferences and make a generous award in your favour.

Vardags are also experienced at using the full power of the court to get your partner to disclose their whole wealth. Where they flout orders, it is possible to have them fined or even sent to prison for contempt of court. Often, a lack of disclosure will also lead to them having to pay your legal fees as well.

Due to our experience with high value cases, we are aware of the many tricks spouses employ to hide their wealth. Our team can help you uncover and resist these, ensuring you get your fair share.
