Are you concerned that your spouse may be hiding assets or income? Maybe they have a small business and you need an independent calculation of their business income. Are there significant, pre-marital assets that need valuation? Are you concerned that tax returns have been filed incorrectly and that a possible IRS audit may “haunt you,” post-divorce? Your family income has been substantial and yet there are no assets to show for?
