Assets and Uncovering Hidden Assets

In Michigan, marital property typically includes assets acquired during marriage, regardless of whose name appears on titles. Courts aim for “fair and equitable” distribution rather than automatic 50/50 splits. This becomes particularly challenging with:

Complex investment portfolios requiring thorough valuation
Business interests where accurate worth determination is critical
Retirement accounts with specific division requirements
Real estate holdings across multiple locations
Potentially concealed assets requiring forensic investigation

When substantial wealth is involved, some spouses may attempt to hide assets. Our team employs strategic methods to uncover undisclosed financial holdings, working with financial analysts when necessary to ensure nothing escapes proper valuation and division.

What if You Do Not Have a Prenuptial Agreement?

Michigan courts will determine asset division based on multiple factors, including length of marriage, contributions of each spouse, age, health and earning capacity. For high-value estates, this creates significant uncertainty. Our attorneys build compelling cases showing your contributions – both financial and nonfinancial – to shield your interests during property division proceedings.

What if You Do Have a Prenuptial Agreement?

Michigan courts generally uphold valid prenups that were created without duress, fraud, or incomplete financial disclosure. Our lawyers carefully analyze existing agreements, defend their validity when favorable or identify potential vulnerabilities when challenging them to serve your interests better.
