A: Look, getting away from a domestic violence is far more important than a toy hauler. She should research the value, and ask the court to include the value in the division of assets. The court then tries to divide the property equally and can award money or physical property. The path of least resistance is to not fight over assets that husband has hidden, but rather ask for other assets or cash to equalize the division. It really helps to hire an Attorney to help do this.
