What this is
Organizing marital financial records for attorney review
Divorce and marital financial tracing is a forensic accounting review add-on that organizes marital account records into workpaper-style summaries for attorney and client review. The review helps identify unexplained transfers between accounts, deposits without clear source documentation, withdrawals that may need explanation, accounts or periods with missing records, and financial activity that counsel may want to follow up on. The work is organizational and investigative at the record level — not at the legal-conclusion level.
The review does not classify assets as separate, marital, or community property — those are legal determinations. It does not calculate support or alimony. It does not perform asset valuation. It organizes and summarizes the financial records so that counsel and the client can understand what the records show, what is missing, and what questions the records raise. What counsel does with those questions is counsel's work, not the review's.

Boundaries
Financial-record review support — not legal advice or property classification
This review organizes financial records and identifies activity that may warrant follow-up. It does not classify assets as separate, marital, or community property — those are legal determinations that depend on jurisdiction, the facts of the marriage, and applicable law, and they belong to counsel and the court. It does not calculate support, alimony, or any income-based obligation. It does not perform asset valuation or appraisal. It does not determine whether any party concealed assets — it identifies unexplained financial activity that raises questions counsel can pursue. The review does not provide expert testimony and does not constitute legal advice. The usefulness of any review depends on the completeness and accuracy of the records provided.
How the work is performed
Process and deliverable format
Source documents are indexed across all accounts in scope. Statement coverage is mapped to identify gaps. Transfers between accounts are identified and matched where possible. Deposits are reviewed for source documentation. Withdrawals are summarized with dates, amounts, and any available payee or memo information. Unexplained or potentially undisclosed activity is noted separately. Findings are organized in workpaper-style format for attorney and client review. Open questions are listed with specific follow-up paths for counsel, the opposing party's counsel, or records custodians. The deliverable keeps the underlying records, the methodology notes, and the open questions linked together so that any observation in the workpaper can be traced back to the specific record that supports it.
Methodology
Built on StatementProof workpapers
StatementProof is the structured workpaper system behind FinancialProofReview. Each engagement runs through the same disciplined process: source documents are indexed, transactions are reconciled, and findings are organized into reviewer-grade workpapers rather than narrative memos.
FinancialProofReview engagements are led by a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) with subject-matter expertise in forensic accounting, fraud examination, and financial-record review. Reviews are conducted from a fraud-examination perspective and produce workpaper-style analysis, summaries, timelines, and issue lists. The work is financial-record review support, not legal advice, law-enforcement authority, charging decisions, or testimony.
The methodology is operated by HopkinsForensic, an independent forensic-accounting firm.
Start the review
Start with the financial records available
If the marital financial records are incomplete, inconsistent, or unclear, the first step is identifying what exists, what is missing, and what questions the records raise for counsel.
About this review service
FinancialProofReview and HopkinsForensic provide forensic accounting and financial-record review support. They are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, marital property classification, asset valuation, support calculations, expert testimony, or guaranteed outcomes. Whether specific assets or activity are legally significant in any divorce or family-law matter is a question for counsel and the court. The scope and usefulness of any review depends on the records available.
