Title: Spouse cheated and now I suspect they're hiding money — what are my options?

Hey everyone — I’m trying to get my head around a situation that’s quickly unraveling.

I recently discovered that my spouse was unfaithful. After being confronted, they begged me to go to counseling and seemed committed to repairing things. I agreed, but I also started preparing myself emotionally and practically in case things don’t work out — which now feels more likely.

As part of that preparation, I began looking into finances. Based on a background check and some digging, I only found two accounts in their name: - One has about $175 in it - The other has been closed and opted out

That’s it — and it doesn’t add up (since they have made almost $100,000 per year.) My spouse still has a job and regular income, but none of that money seems to be visible in the accounts I’m aware of. There are no large transfers, no new accounts listed, and no obvious explanation for where their money is going.

It really looks like they’re hiding assets. Possibly preparing for a split without telling me — or keeping money off the books altogether.

My questions: - What are my options for confirming whether they’re hiding money or have secret accounts? - Is there a legal way to uncover hidden assets before or during divorce? - Would hiring a forensic accountant be overkill at this point, or is that something worth looking into? - If we’re still legally married, do I have the right to request financial records or subpoena them if needed?

I’m not trying to be vindictive — I just don’t want to be blindsided financially after already being hurt emotionally. I am also a federal worker, so who knows if I'll keep my position? I don't want to be beholden to a cheating spouse. I want to protect myself and be smart.

Any advice from people who’ve been through this or work in law/finance would be hugely appreciated.
