Matrimonial asset tracing can satisfy a party’s need for financial transparency by performing an independent review of the parties’ financial disclosure and records.  This process, which may include obtaining additional previously undisclosed financial documents, may also ultimately lead to uncovering undisclosed assets, and/or undisclosed income to add to the parties’ pool of assets to be divided.  Matrimonial asset tracing may also assist in facilitating any settlement negotiations between the parties, once a party’s suspicions regarding the magnitude of the parties’ assets to be divided have been eliminated.
