Episode 13: There are about a dozen ways in which spouses typically hide their financial moves -- and these menthods are not particuarly hard to uncover. Anyone suspecting an ex of moving money will find most of those bad moves in tax documents, bank statements, and credit card records. This week, Tracy talks about what to look for, and how easy or hard it can be to find.

Episode 12: You don't need your ex's cooperation -- or even help from their accountant or tax preparer -- to get tax documents that will help identify the family's money flow, but you will need to go through a process to get those papers. This week, Tracy discusses how to get the tax paperwork, but also follows up on advice from her Divorce Money Guide on spotting troublesome transactions in common hiding places, notably on credit-card statements and in extra accounts.

Episode 11: The process of rooting through financial statements and mountains of individual transactions seems gargantuan, but Tracy says that partners who are hiding or redirecting money leave behind telltale clues and signs that often can only be found in all of that data. This week, Tracy discusses how her Divorce Money Guide can be the resource for rooting out the problems and finding the clues that lead to the spots where money is hidden, turning a tall task into an effort that is much less daunting and more accessible and likely to succeed in finding anything that's been squirreled away.

Episode 10: While many divorce finance stories focus on men hiding money, Tracy says this week that gender doesn't have as much to do with financial infidelity as it does with control. Most couples have one partner in charge of paying the bills and managing the account statements, and this has the potential to create a power imbalance. That disproportionate control can lead to other relationship issues, if the partner with financial control feels they're not trusted or the partner who has ceded control worries about the things they're not seeing. Tracy explains how to equalize the power imbalance in a way that strengthens both financial awareness and the relationship itself.

Episode 9: Thinking that your partner or ex is hiding money may be the start of a high-stakes game, but you need to know where to go seeking in order to see if your suspicions will pay off. This week, Tracy discusses using credit reports, bank statements and other account paperwork to separate out the habits and routines from the red flags, new trends, changes and telltale signs of trouble. Not every problem turns out to be something that is worth pursuing or that can be recovered, but Tracy warns against assuming that the behavior being too small, noting that the small clues often can lead to uncovering the bigger, more troublesome issues.

Episode 8: Finding the money is the second action in a game of financial hide-and-seek. This week, Tracy discusses how many people in the times leading up to a divorce -- at a point when they think the relationship is headed for a split -- start doing "divorce financial planning," hiding money and financial actions in order to protect their assets and cash-flow while minimizing what their spouse would take away from a split. Tracy discusses the actions that are common among spouses who are blurring their financial picture or disguising their money moves.

Episode 7: There's a fine line that separates normal financial behaviors from bad ones, and Tracy discusses how little white lies and power disparities within a couple -- along with the desire from one or both partners to maintain or improve their control over spending decisions and family money -- can lead people to cross that line, straying into financial infidelities that can mushroom quickly from minor concern to a threat to the family relationship.

Episode 6: Knowing that there has been financial infidelity and proving it can be two different things. Armed with the financial documents, it's time to lay out what happened to the money and to prove the case. Tracy discusses putting it all together and not only to determine what can be recovered but to decide if there needs to be an 'unequal division of assets,' where distributions in a way that's fair -- based on the family's financial history and the proof of the case -- but not 50-50.

Episode 5: Tracy discusses how the spouse who is typically in charge of the household money generally doesn't cover up their actions, which means that statements from banks, credit cards and investment accounts are the paper trail to follow to find problem expenses. While not every case of mis-spending can be recovered, knowing where the money has gone is important, and Tracy stresses that it's easy for individuals 'to spot things in your own finances that don't make sense or shouldn't have happened.' 

Episode 4: Tracy discusses how 'fair and honest' disclosure can't be taken for granted in many divorce cases, and how spouses need to look for red flags like behavior changes, reduced access to some accounts, violating family spending agreements and more searching for emerging patterns. Once red flags are spotted, Tracy says it's back to basics, like checking credit reports, bank statements and more to make sure that all of the financial details are out in the open.
