Most divorces miss these 3 accounts entirely. 👀
Not because they're hard to find, but because most people don't know to look for them.
One of them has triple tax benefits and legally becomes marital property the moment money is deposited. If your spouse holds the account and no one brings it up, it often stays with them by default.
Another one is hiding inside your own tax returns. Overpayments or estimated tax deposits sitting with the IRS can represent thousands of dollars that never make it back to a joint account, and if it's not on anyone's radar, it walks out the door.
The third one is tricky for a different reason. Online gambling and sports betting accounts can hold real balances, but the platforms won't release records without a legal demand. That means most of this money goes completely untracked.
Knowing what questions to ask changes everything.
