In a divorce, the question we hear most is simple: Do I really know what we have?
In the first Financial Fridays episode of The Florida Family Law Attorney Podcast, founding attorney Gerard Virga sits down with forensic accountant Jason Soman, CPA/ABV, ASA, CFE, CDFA®, to break down how hidden assets and income are uncovered in a Florida divorce.
What you'll learn
- What "forensic accounting" really means. It doesn't always mean someone is hiding money. It means accounting done for a legal case.
- The red flags. From missing bank statements to financial affidavits that don't add up.
- Why businesses need extra attention. If a spouse owns one, it's one of the easiest places for income to disappear.
- When it's worth the cost. Jason is candid about when hiring a forensic accountant pays off and when it doesn't.
- Why starting early saves money. Clear numbers up front lead to stronger mediations and fewer court fights.
