What has a forensic accountant got to do with divorce?

If I am right a forensic accountant's area of expertise is fraud so I would think he would be looking to see if any funds have been salted away or if there has been any dodgy dealing. I hope your DD has a good divorce lawyer, this man sounds out for every penny he can get (and some that he can't) Good luck.

Anyone able to explain this to me? DD3 is trying to conduct a civilised divorce with ex H. He wants anything but.

His latest is that he is going to send in a forensic accountant to her fledgling business which she has worked very hard to get started and is beginning to take off. He has already stated he wants half the VALUE of the house which is in DD's name and to which he has never contributed a penny. He hasn't quite twigged that it is the equity he may get half of, which is almost zero.

He contributes nothing financially to the upbringing of his son.

If anyone is, has been or knows about this topic, I'd be grateful to hear from them.
