Hiding assets is something that people are afraid of and that’s why we have the discovery process. The discovery process
gives us a bunch of tools that we get to use to investigate. What we do is we think about what tools will be most
powerful depending on the case that we’re working on. Whether it’s subpoening documents directly from the bank, whether it’s having a deposition,
or whether it’s investigating whatever we can find um on public record, there is information out there that we can
gather to help question whether or not anything’s hidden.

Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Nina Shayan Depatie talks about what to do if you think your spouse is hiding assets during your divorce. She explains that hiding assets is a concern that many people have, and that is precisely why the discovery process exists. The discovery process provides a wide range of legal tools that allow attorneys to conduct a thorough investigation. Attorneys carefully consider which tools will be most effective depending on the specific case they are handling.

This may include subpoenaing documents directly from banks, taking depositions to obtain sworn testimony, or conducting investigations using whatever information can be found in public records. There is a significant amount of information available that can be collected and analyzed to help determine whether anything has been hidden or improperly withheld.
