That's when you have to consider if your spouse is hiding assets during your divorce. Here are the top ten ways people hide assets during a divorce.

1.      Concealing assets: People may try to hide assets by transferring ownership to a relative or friend, underreporting the value of assets, or simply not disclosing the existence of certain assets.

2.      Using cash: Some people may try to hide assets by using cash, which can be difficult to track.

3.      Offshore accounts: Some people may try to hide assets by transferring them to offshore accounts, which can be difficult for the other party to access.

4.      Underreporting income: People may try to hide income by underreporting their earnings or by failing to disclose certain sources of income.

5.      Unreported gifts or loans: People may try to hide assets by receiving gifts or loans from family or friends that are not disclosed.

6.      Business ownership: People may try to hide assets by transferring ownership of a business to a relative or friend, or by underreporting the value of the business.

7.      Transferring assets to a spouse: Some people may try to hide assets by transferring them to a spouse before the divorce.

8.      Using cryptocurrency: Some people may try to hide assets by using cryptocurrency, which can be difficult to trace.

9.      Falsifying records: People may try to hide assets by falsifying records or providing false information about their financial situation.

10.  Undisclosed real estate: Some people may try to hide assets by failing to disclose ownership of real estate or by underreporting the value of real estate holdings.
