We have reason to believe that my husband's former wife (divorced twelve years) may be receiving trust fund money or distributions from a revocable living trust fund that her brother created. She's bragged to others about "nothing in my name", and has stated that her brother sends her a check written to an account number of the bank her brother uses. Then she cashes the check at its branch in our town and deposits the cash into another local bank. We have applied for a modification in alimony (my husband is seventy-seven years old and self-employed) and need to know what her financial needs actually are to arrive at an agreement. She has one bank account she reports, but there is another account we have information about, and there also appears to be one other. How can we find out where that other local bank account might be?
The only way for your husband to get information on his ex-wife's financial assets and transactions is to compel her or her financial institution to produce records. That will require consultation with the attorney representing him in his legal action to modify the alimony order, and the issuance of one or more subpooenas. Getting his ex-wife to reveal where her accounts are located is a legal issue, and he should be talking to his attorney about it.
