Once again he is lying. He’s not “deliberately” didn’t disclose it? Lol what does it even mean? He lied “not deliberately”? How do you lie but do it in non deliberate way? He thinks you are stupid
Not sure why you emailed about all of this to him. If justice and fairness what you are after you need to pursue it through legal channels. But I guess if you get money out of it it’s something. Better than nothing
He’s on to scamming next woman. Despicable individual
I hope you don’t decide to keep hanging out with your ex or keep in touch after all this

Well, I found this online:
Consequences Of A Spouse Lying About Finances
There can be several outcomes for those who lie about their financial situation during a divorce case:
Reprimand from Judge: The repercussions for lying about your finances could be as simple as a stern talking-to from the judge. A judge may take it upon him or herself to openly reprimand you for presenting misinformation.
Judge Will Award More to the Other Spouse: It is also possible the court will decide to provide more for your spouse, either in the asset division or in alimony. If the court had decided to split your assets in half, but it became clear you were hiding $10,000, the court may decide to award the hidden funds entirely to your spouse. Or, the judge may reconsider the split at 60/40, in your spouse’s favor.
Found Guilty of Perjury: In the worst-case-scenario, the judge may find you guilty of perjury. Lying to the court is illegal, and can be considered a criminal act punishable by costly fees, and even jail time. Typically, the court will only treat the crime as perjury when a large amount of money was hidden.
These types of cases are far from black and white. The outcome depends greatly on the judge presiding over your case, and the way in which your financial mistake happened and was presented. The simple truth is, it is always better to be honest with your divorce attorney and to the court, and lying on official documents is illegal and should never be practiced or encouraged."
