The most common things to misrepresent in a divorce are income and the value of assets. Unfortunately, lying can also extend to false allegations of domestic violence, drug or alcohol abuse and other assertions in an attempt to manipulate child custody, parenting time and child support.

Business owners and those who are self-employed often “set up” for a divorce by reducing their own salary and deferring compensation in order to reduce support obligations. They may even attempt to pursue less business or “slow down” the pace of the business to reduce income as well as the valuation of the business or professional practice itself.
