I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

hidden assets in divorce discovery. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
