Navigating Your Relationship Property Minefield
Engage a forensic accountant at the same time you engage a lawyer! Please!
As forensic accountants we know what information to ask for; how to obtain it; and provide the evidence for your lawyer to work with.
Lacking those critical documents and financial analysis may undermine your case.
Serious relationship property cases contain elements of bullying, theft, accounting tricks, fraud, opportunism, and vexatious litigation.
Most cases involve a combination of many of the following:
- Your Family business suddenly has no value; your ex wants it for $0; why?
- Significant argument over the value of the company or business.
- Disagree with the business valuation put forward from the other side.
- Relationship property assets are less than you always thought.
- You feel bullied after you asked for financial information and records.
- Unsure what happened as your ex managed the relationship finances.
- The financial accounts given to you are incomplete, misleading or inaccurate.

- Controlling shareholder using the company as a personal source of funding.
