How do I find any hidden assets?

Asked almost 2 years ago - San Francisco, CA

Flag

How can I find out my soon to be ex-husband's hidden asset if he is dishonest?
Do I have to use investigator?

Also I heard I can ask to return the expenses including dinners and gifts he spent for his girlfriend from our community assets during the marriage. How can I calculate the expense? Should I obtain his credit card statements?

I would recommend a forensic accountant look at his documents to determine money spent on girlfriends and determine whether there is a trail to follow hidden assets.
