   Lawyers agree

You can start by examining / reviewing any current financial documents which indicate a transfer of funds out of the U.S.such as wire transfers or foreign conveyances. However it may be worth investing in a private investigator or other similar forensic accountant.

You should file a formal request for mandatory disclosure under rule 410. You may also want to file documents for discovery to ask questions or interrogatories, seek admissions and ask for a production of documents from their bank(s), retirement records or any other place where you think that funds may be held either individually or with another individual(s). You should hire an attorney to assist you in these matters and you probably need an investigator. If you can not afford an attorney, you may hire an attorney to complete a specific task for you under Limited Representation.

   The following response is for informations purposes and creates no attorney client relationship
