Are They Hiding Assets?
During a divorce, a spouse sometimes tries to keep property out of the division: real estate in a relative's name, a side business, vehicles or equipment that disappear from the inventory, or cash moved shortly before filing. Our job is to find the lawful evidence of what exists and hand it to you and your attorney.
Clients usually call when the financial disclosure does not match the lifestyle, when a spouse owns or controls a business, or when assets seem to be moving right before or during the case.
Business and Property Tracing
Identifying real estate, business entities, UCC filings, and ownership ties that may not appear on the disclosure.
Lifestyle and Activity Checks
Documenting vehicles, equipment, and spending patterns in Indiana that suggest income or property not being reported.
Attorney-Ready Reporting
A clear written report delivered to you and your attorney, with every source listed so it can guide discovery and subpoenas.
How We Handle a Divorce Asset Search
Step 1
Free consultation
We review what you know about the marital finances, the disclosure you received, and what your attorney needs, and we agree on a scope.
Step 2
Public-record research
From Indiana we search property, vehicle, business, court, bankruptcy, lien, and judgment records, plus corporate filings and online sources tied to your spouse.
Step 3
Lawful field checks
Where it helps, we document vehicles, equipment, or business activity in Indiana from public vantage points.
Step 4
Report for counsel
We deliver findings in writing, explain which records your attorney can subpoena for account-level detail, and stay available if the findings need to be explained.
What You Receive
A written report listing each asset or lead we found, the public source it came from, and how it compares with the disclosure, plus photographs where field checks were done. Bank and brokerage balances are not public; we identify where accounts likely exist so your attorney can request them through discovery.
What's Legal in Indiana
Indiana divides property in a divorce from one marital estate, whether it was owned before the marriage or acquired during it (IC 31-15-7-4), and courts start from a presumption that an equal division is just and reasonable (IC 31-15-7-5). Private investigator firms in Indiana are licensed under Indiana Code IC 25-30 by the Private Investigator and Security Guard Licensing Board. Our license is PI22500020, and you can confirm it on the Indiana license search.
Pretexting a bank to get account information is a federal crime under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and we will not do it. We also will not access a spouse's email or phone, or place a tracker on a vehicle you do not have the right to track. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
Who It's For
Spouses going through a contested divorce, family law attorneys who need a factual basis for discovery, and people reopening a settlement who believe property was hidden. See our guide to signs a spouse is hiding assets in an Indiana divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a private investigator find hidden bank accounts?
Not by getting balances directly; that would require pretexting, which is illegal. We find lawful indicators of where accounts likely exist, and your attorney obtains the records through discovery or a subpoena.
Should I hire an investigator before or after filing?
Either can work, but earlier is usually better because records show where assets were before anything moved. Talk with your attorney and call us for a free consultation.
Will my spouse know I hired an investigator?
Our research is discreet and based on public records and lawful observation. Whether findings are later shared in the case is a decision for you and your attorney.
Do you work directly with my divorce attorney?
Yes, and we prefer it. Working through counsel keeps the scope focused on what the court will actually decide.
