What Can Go Wrong When Hiding Assets in a Divorce?

Trying to hide assets during a divorce can have serious legal and financial consequences. In this episode, we explain the duty of full and frank disclosure, the ways hidden assets may be uncovered, and what the Court can do when a party fails to disclose property, income, companies, trusts, bank accounts or other financial interests.

We also discuss adverse findings, costs orders, changes to the property settlement, orders being set aside, and the risk of penalties for giving false or misleading evidence.

This episode provides general information only and is not a substitute for legal advice about your individual circumstances.
