Numbers Don't Lie, But People Do - Hidden Assets in Divorce

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Imagine discovering your spouse has been earning $4 million a year while you thought you were living a middle-class lifestyle. This shocking revelation is just one example of the hidden assets a divorce forensic accountant was able to find.

In this episode, Rosalia Labate, a CPA specializing in divorce analysis, forensics, and business valuations, shares how a divorce financial professional can help divorcing individuals navigate complex financial waters – especially in high net worth divorces. Rosalia’s expertise ranges from uncovering hidden assets to demystifying business valuations.

Rosalia explains the critical difference between financial analysis, business valuation, and forensic accounting—and when you need which. She talks about the real value of gathering documentation early, how numbers tell a story, and how her deep-dive analysis helps people uncover what they own, what they spend, and what they actually need to move forward.

Whether you’re trying to avoid litigation, navigate mediation, or just get a handle on your own finances, Rosalia’s practical yet strategic insights could save you from making a ton of expensive financial mistakes in your divorce.
