Divorces involving complex finances can be highly contested and involve multiple appearances in court. One of the most difficult challenges in these cases is understanding what the marital estate is truly worth. Assets may include multiple properties, business interests, investment accounts, retirement plans, and sometimes hidden funds that one spouse would prefer to keep off the books. In these cases, our Wheaton divorce attorneys often recommend working with a forensic accountant.
A forensic accountant is a financial professional trained to investigate, analyze, and testify about complicated financial matters. In divorce, they play a critical role in uncovering hidden assets, valuing businesses, and ensuring that property is divided fairly under Illinois law. With decades of combined experience, our firm routinely works alongside forensic accountants and other experts to protect clients’ interests in high-stakes divorces.
