Locate Individual – Hidden Assets in Divorce Case

Jen Cormack • September 1, 2025

Background:
A family law attorney contacted me after their client’s ex-spouse stopped making court-ordered financial payments. The attorney believed the subject was hiding income and assets, but had limited information to work with. The client needed to locate the individual’s current residence and financial holdings to pursue recovery.

Process:
I conducted a detailed investigation using a combination of
public records searches, social media analysis, and property research. Through footprinting and cross-referencing, I discovered that the subject had shifted assets into a business under an associate’s name. I also identified a previously unknown out-of-state property by comparing real estate filings with geo-tagged social media photos. This information was further supported by vehicle registration data and satellite imagery, which confirmed the subject’s new residence.

Takeaway:
The attorney used my findings to petition the court for updated financial disclosures and asset freezes. The evidence of hidden property and income streams strengthened their case, ensuring the client could move forward with legal remedies. My investigation not only located the subject but also uncovered
concealed assets critical to the litigation strategy.
