Milsted Langdon on the Price of Hiding Money in Divorce

A recent Financial Remedies Court judgment, in which a husband's obstruction and failure to disclose his means stretched a case across more than two years and 15 hearings, ended with a £110,000 lump sum ordered against him. No.20 member Milsted Langdon has added its own reading of the case.

Forensic Director James Hardy notes that the evidence needed to expose concealed income is often already sitting in bank statements and public records, and that forensic accountants are practised at tracing funds and testing declared figures against the paperwork.

Sound counsel, quietly delivered, for anyone who suspects the picture they have been shown is not the whole one. The full note is on the Milsted Langdon website.
