Q: Cost of discovery/subpoena for finding balances and recent history in a few 401k and a few bank accounts
Hello,
All of our assets are marital property (accumulated after our marriage) and all accounts have been in his name only.
he has significant balance is his past 5 employers 401k accounts, also has about 4 to 5 bank accounts, several months ago he showed me the balances to be over 100k in total. I suspect he is transferring (or already did) assets to his home country, may be in his relatives. I dont see any bank statements in the mail in recent months.
May be he has emptied all the 401k and bank accounts and the only asset now left is our condo with about 70k equity in it.
If I file for divorce,how much would it cost me to find out his current and recently closed accounts, balances and transactions in last 1 year?
by finding bank/401k withdrawals, can i prove that he took my share?
how likely court will give me entire equity in condo and also make him pay me every month for rest of the money(not alimony)?

A: Why don't you ask an attorney in your jurisdiction? The cost of such discovery may be minimal, but it is conceivable that, if he drags his feet, the associated motion practice might be large. It depends.
