Q: I have separated from my wife for over 15 years, no kids. I purchased a house 2 years after the separation, so do I need
to list it as an asset, along with any other assets acquired after the separation on the financial statement?
A: Yes, you need to list all assets owned by you regardless of when you acquired them.

A: The sworn financial statement requires you to list all assets you have, not just ones acquired before separation. That does not mean arguments cannot be made as to what is marital, what is fair, etc, but you are required to list everything.
