A friend of mine is going to a really nasty divorce. She and her husband have a few kids together. They also are pretty well off. Her husband has not decided that he’s going to sign away his rights to the children rather than pay child support. He also doesn’t want her to have any of the money they have accumulated. He has flat out refused to sign any documents. He won’t even agree to anything in mediation. He has been dragging this out for months to the point that they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There is a court hearing next week to determine custody, division of financial assets, and other issues. Her husband has already said that he will refuse anything that the judge says. He even said he would go to chill before paying her a penny. He is threatening to hide all of the money.
At this point, he still sees the children. He has been filling Their heads with all kinds of lies. He has even resorted to trying to spy on his soon to be ex-wife. He has messaged crazy things to me and several other friends. He has set her harassing notes through the family communicator. He has shown up at her work and screaming and had to be escorted off campus.

She makes more money than he does and most of the money that has been accumulated is actually money she earned. However, he has hidden a lot of it away and it’s refusing to give up that information as to how to get to the account. He has even gone as far as to try and send money to some mutual friends to have them hold onto it.
What’s going to happen?
If the judge makes a ruling, he can't just say no. That's not how it works. He can appeal it but that's a whole different date.
If he's hiding the money then he can go to jail for violating a court order if he's ordered to split it.
She needs the kids in counseling to document everything and go back to court over it.
I am not certain if they could find it but maybe a private investigator could find the money? Idk if that would work or if they can even do that though.

They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on their divorce and no one has mentioned a forensic accountant? I mean, if someone has that kind of money, do they really care about child support? Of course both parents should support the kids, but I'd they have that kind of money to throw away on a divorce, who needs child support?
She would be better off if he had a stroke and croaked.
She should have enough evidence to get full custody of the kids and him to have supervised visits. If he refuses to divulge where the money is, he will sit his ass in jail until he does. She can hire a forensic accountant to find the money

He sounds like a narcissist. Narcissists think that they can do shit like that. In reality, marital assets will be divided and if the judge finds out that he's hidden assets, then the judge will nail his ass to the wall. The judge might even rule that he has to pay alimony and child support. I hope the wife has hired a forensic accountant to find all the money he's tried to hide.

This sounds like something I would be writing in a few years if I were to marry my SO
I feel bad for her, at least this can't drag on forever.

The kids need a guardian ad litem.

They have one as of a few weeks ago. They are supposed to do a full custody evaluation but the husband is refusing to participate
