Divorce, Hidden Assets & Forensic Accounting: Miles Mason Sr. on the Financial Side of Family Law | Law 101

Episode description and notes

In this episode of Law 101, we welcome Miles Mason Sr., an experienced family law attorney and Certified Public Accountant who brings more than three decades of experience to the complex intersection of divorce, law, accounting, and financial investigation. Miles discusses his work in family law and the expertise behind his book, which was developed to help family lawyers better understand the financial issues that arise in divorce cases. He explains how forensic accountants, business valuation professionals, and other expert witnesses can play critical roles when significant assets, businesses, tax returns, financial statements, or concerns about hidden money are involved. The conversation explores why many attorneys enter family law with limited formal training in accounting and finance, creating a need for practical resources that translate complex financial concepts into language lawyers can effectively use during litigation. Miles also shares the story behind writing the original edition of his book, the gap in professional resources that inspired it, and why an updated second edition became necessary. From forensic accounting and financial documents to hidden assets, business valuations, expert testimony, and divorce trial strategy, this episode provides an inside look at the financial complexities that can exist beneath the surface of family law cases.
