Divorce
Establishing the financial facts
If you are handling a matrimonial case, forensic accountancy can play a key role in the settlement. Tenon is able to give you substantial help in difficult cases, where the outcome is less than clear because of complicated finances.
For example, one such case is where one or both of the parties are self-employed and there are concerns over their "true" income.
Another example arises when one of the parties is a main shareholder in a private company. This might be the owner-manager, who thinks that withdrawing a capital sum or more income is likely to make the business go under. The other party might in turn allege that earnings are suppressed in the accounts, or that shareholdings take on an additional value as security for borrowings.
Issues of this kind can only be resolved by a careful and skilled examination of financial records and status. Tenon can give you all of the support you need in establishing the facts, setting up a firm basis for a resolution between the parties.
