It is common for one spouse not to know about all the assets controlled by the other spouse. Discovery is especially important in a high-asset divorce. For example, business valuation or searching for hidden assets may be critical before reaching a fair division of assets. Careful characterization of assets as shared property versus community property is also a high-stakes aspect of property division in a high-asset divorce. Consulting with a CPA about tax consequences of a given asset division solution is also advisable.
