Working with Your Forensic Accountant
![]() |
This issue of Family Advocate is devoted primarily to accounting issues that may arise in a family-law case. The articles are written largely by accountants, rather than by attorneys. Accounting expertise can be extremely important whether an attorney is effectuating a settlement or trying a divorce case before the court. The goal of this issue of Family Advocate is to alert attorneys to the need for expert accounting advice and to identify some of the problems that accountants may help identify and resolve. |
