What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEW YORK
A friend is in the middle of a divorce. His wife of five years worked as office manager of his business during the marriage. She embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the business. The company is now being audited by both federal & state agencies as she didn't submit payroll taxes or sales taxes and she made hundreds of checks out to "cash" that have no receipts. Her lawyer just sent over 30 pages of questions for him to answer! It seems to me that most of this is designed to make him crazy - they want copies of every piece of paper for the past five years! Trouble is even the books that she kept aren't accurate as she made false entries to hide her theft. Isn't there some way to make her have to do the work on this? He's trying to save the business and she's just racking up more legal fees that she's going to try to force him to pay. He had to refinance everything he owned and is now living in the office!!
