As previously mentioned, I've discovered that my ex has not disclosed all marital assets. One of the things he didn't disclose was a trading account (he may have more than one). I have a question about whether the equalization formula is the same for this type of asset.
The argument that I'm expecting is that my ex will try to say that since he owned certain stock prior to marriage that any equity gain in that stock is not subject to equalization.
The second argument that I'm expecting him to make is that if he used the principal or profit from pre-marital owned stock to purchase another stock that that stock is also not subject to equalization.
I would imagine that his argument isn't going to fly...but I didn't know if this type of asset was handled differently from any other type of asset that increases in value over the valuation dates for marriage.
Can any experienced posters help me with this?
