Get an attorney.

If the accounts were in your wife's name, you MIGHT be able to handle it on your own. But if they're in her mother's name, it's not a DIY project.

However, it's going to come down to what evidence can you provide that she's hidden assets in her mother's name? Make sure you have copies of every check she wrote to her mother's account and/or any transfers to that account. That will help your attorney to be able to access the records.

My wife convinced me to wire ~$25k to another country to her mother's account 3.5 years ago. I have detailed records that show all about this internation wire transfer and money in our joint (wife and I) bank account prior to that. Would that be sufficient to show to the judge that this is my wife's asset? Reading the above it seems like it could be. I wonder though if that is sufficient proof this is my wife's asset. :confused:

Sorry, it's a subquestion of the original question. I guess I recognized I have a bit easier case on hand than the gentleman above.

I doubt if that would be sufficient. Your wife could say that you jointly agreed to give her mother a gift. Also, waiting 3.5 years without doing anything implies consent.

But see an attorney.

Please don't ask questions on another person's thread. That is a violation of forum ettiquette. It is considered to be hijacking that person's thread.
