Found Evidence that my ex lied about their assets

I just found a document on my computer that was password protected. I wasn''t sure what it was so I typed in a couple of passwords and managed to open it!

The document was sent from my ex to a family member of theirs and references a trust that they are a beneficiary of. It implies that money is owed following the sale of a property. This was 2 years before the divorce was final, however we were having problems at the time and a divorce was definitely impending. however nothing was disclosed regarding the trust during the divorce, so I am clearly peeved that I am continuing to support my ex.

I don''t know how much is in the trust or might have been paid out afterwards, apart from the sale of the house of £500k. There are likely to be 4 beneficiaries.

There are kids involved so I don''t want to open a can of worms - pissing off the ex could hurt!

Any advice welcome!?

Do you have a financial agreement, a Consent Order?.

yes, but only very modest. £150/month.

Do you have a court order?, something from court that says who get what.

Yes, we sold the family house netting about £250k, and I was awarded £50k.

In certain circumstances you can request your consent order to be set aside if a party failed to disclose information that would have had an impact in the final settlement. Both parties are supposed to give accurate upto date information it appears this was not the case.

However technically you have hacked into files/folders evidence that you may find inadmissible by a court due to way you received/obtained the information it''s a bit of a grey area. Possibly another way of obtaining the same information legally, which could be used as evidence is to get a copy of the probate/will, which lists the beneficiaries and the date which would be available for a small fee.
