Forensic accountancy on the cheap - finding hidden assets in divorce

Posts: 80 Forumite
I suspect my ex has hidden assets ahead of a divorce. You could of course hire a forensic accountant to find out what the spouse really has. For many people this is not financially viable so does anyone have any tips for saving money on this front e.g. how to find out how many houses spouse owns, how many businesses he/she is a director of etc.
Thanks in advance

I would inquire at a private detective school and try to find a computent guaduate. Of course, there's allways a Google Search for such things.
Yes get a private detective!0 -
If you suspect there are assets like additional properties etcetera I'd get a bank-loan to finance a decent enquiry. It's not something I'd consider trying to do on the cheap, there's too much at stake0

Many Thanks - we are not talking millions but possibly a couple of 100k at stake0

Half of £100k is £50k that should be yours. I'd spend a percentage of that to ensure I got a fair share, that's for sure0
