Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: dissapated assests

Your attorney can assist you with finding marital assets that may have been secreted during your marriage. Information will be needed to identify these assets. It is important to define as many attributes as possible to locate these assets.

It is essential that your attorney understands the issues and is able to review accounting records, bank accounts, statements of account, investment statements, 401(k) and other retirement plans, real estate transactions, and many other matters to assist you with pursuing a fair division of marital assets.

An attorney may utilize experts who are able to trace assets to known points of registration or ackowledgment. These records will become part of the analytical framework that an attorney may use. The reputation of each company that provides information stands upon its own merit with some companies providing better service than others. Your case may require specific services that some companies cannot provide.

Your attorney may be able to provide you service to trace or locate assets or it may be beneficial that an expert provide this service. This is something that you need to discuss with your attorney.

Dissipation of assets can be identified through a review of the records. Your attorney can assist you with generating leads that may provide evidence as to any dissipation. Your attorney cannot testify or provide any evidence of this in court, thus an expert will be needed for purposes of trial.
