Can a spouse, while a divorce is pending, withdraw funds or hide bank accounts or assets?
Once a Petition is filed with the Superior Court, the Court issues a temporary order, which prohibits either party from withdrawing, concealing, or disposing of marital funds or assets. We recommend that you keep a list of all marital assets and accounts (including bank accounts, mutual funds, retirement accounts, real estate , stocks, life insurance policies); it is better to have such a list together before you file for divorce .
