And that got me wondering, when couples split up, how often are financial secrets part of that story?

I called up someone who's seen just about every version of how this plays out.

I'm curious, this may not be relevant, but why did you become a divorce attorney?

Okay.

So I contacted you because I'm so curious how often financial secrets come up in your work with couples or I guess couples that are getting divorced.

Wait, so then during the discovery process do all these financial secrets come to the surface?

Whoa.

So they're like a kind of detective.

Yeah.

And then what are some of the most common things that come about during that process?

Like what are the financial lies that just show up over and over again?

Wow.

Why do you think people, this is maybe a silly question, but why do you think people lie?

You're like, yes, that is a silly question.

But do you think there are cases where people are hiding the money and they actually don't think it's a big deal?

Like they're surprised by their partner's reaction?

Yeah.

Well, that reminds me, can you share the anecdote that you mentioned over email?

That was wild.

Yeah.
