Marriage is a choice - anyone who has been married for more than a few years can tell you how difficult of a choice it can be. That said, while some people are able to find reasons to keep making that choice, others may find themselves needing to step away from the marriage. Unfortunately, the realization does not make the decision to end the marriage easier.

This is when things can become quite messy. Money, properties, and assets can be difficult subjects to open up even before the end of a relationship. If one person decides that the marriage is over before the other, a likely scenario is that they can start preparing for divorce well ahead of their spouse. This often manifests in hiding assets away for themselves and separate from the marriage. This can ensure that they will have more to keep once the relationship if officially over.

Here are some signs to look our for to know if your spouse is hiding away assets to prepare for a divorce:

• 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗨𝗡𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗧𝗦 (It’s good practice to keep track of all your debts as a couple)

• 𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗨𝗗𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗨𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗦 (frequent unexplained trips can be a big red flag)

•𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗚𝗘 ( since all assets and accounts are tied together, it’s important that you both inform each other whenever you’re making a big purchase, regardless of your current situation)

Finding out that your spouse is hiding money and assets away from you can be devastating. In the state of Florida, this act is not without its consequences. That’s why it is important to look out for the signs and hire professionals to confirm your suspicions. If you need professional law advice and services, we are here to help you.
