Well the question might be difficult and in many cases it might seem to be awkward, but yes the modern world is witnessing what in the earlier times was not even thought about. The cases of divorce are on the rise not only in the western society but also in the eastern part of the globe as well. But that is just one aspect of the story. The terrible part and the most awkward part is that the spouses after getting the divorce and in many cases even before that ask for money or any other kind of support that they might think they are entitled to. In such cases it becomes necessary to avail the services of a forensic accountant who can help you out in matters such as these.
It has been observed that the spouse after the divorce many a times starts indulging in malicious practices that might include an effort to make sure that the ex-spouse suffers from some kind of financial loss that might be the ultimate humiliation that he suffers. Any of the spouses might be hiding money from his or her partner, or maybe lying about the money earned and the money spend. In all such cases it is always good to hire a forensic expert who can get into the details of the finances of your ex-spouse and give you the correct picture.
But one thing that needs to be taken into account is that the Forensic accountant that you are hiring is always consulting with your divorce attorney about the steps that are being taken.
