In any divorce action, you are required to provide detailed financial information to the court to ensure that marital assets and debts are distributed equitably.
In a contested divorce action, both parties have the right to a discovery process, which allows both legal teams to gather information about the other party.
This information is often used to show that one party has a higher net worth than they disclosed, resulting in a more favorable settlement agreement for the other spouse.
