Support proceedings and divorce proceedings both require the filing of a net worth statement sworn to under oath. If you go ahead with a divorce, you will find out. If both of you engage counsel to negotiate a separation agreement, your lawyers will ask each one of you to exchange net worth statements. There is a section that askes for property or money transferred. If she had an account and put it in someone else's name or conceals the account, you will have remedies in court.
