Ex-Wife Accuses Andrea D’Alessio of Massive Divorce Fraud to Hide Millions
Andrea D’Alessio Jr. is facing blistering accusations—not from business rivals or jilted investors, but from his own ex-wife. In a motion filed with the Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Shannon D’Alessio is seeking to vacate their marital settlement agreement and divorce judgment, alleging that Andrea engaged in a calculated scheme to defraud her out of millions in marital assets.
The filing reads like a financial crime thriller. According to Shannon, Andrea—described as a “sophisticated businessman”—abused his position of financial control during the marriage to manipulate, conceal, and lie about the couple’s wealth. She claims that while she was a homemaker raising their five children, Andrea was secretly orchestrating an elaborate shell game to stash away money and property, ultimately lying to the court and to her under oath.
A False Picture of Poverty
Shannon alleges that Andrea submitted a fraudulent financial affidavit during their divorce proceedings, omitting millions in marital assets. Among the most egregious accusations:
-
He excluded the marital residence entirely from his sworn financial documents—yet declared a $2.3 million mortgage with no supporting details. He claimed it was owned by a third-party trust he had no interest in. Shannon now asserts that was a lie—Andrea sold the property months later and personally pocketed millions.
-
He failed to disclose multiple trusts—worth over $1 million—which were allegedly placed in third-party names to avoid detection and equitable distribution.
-
He concealed a sizable annual bonus, requesting that his employer delay payment until after the divorce was finalized. Though it was earned during the marriage, he didn’t list it as even a contingent asset.
-
He reported no bank accounts, no account numbers, no institutions—despite listing $150,000 in stocks and bonds.
-
He claimed debts to unnamed third parties but listed no such obligations on his affidavit, all while telling Shannon that unknown entities were owed large sums.
Shannon’s motion leaves little doubt: she believes the entire divorce settlement was built on lies. “The trust was a sham all along,” the document states, accusing Andrea of personally profiting from the sale of the marital home after convincing the court—and her—that he didn’t own it.
A Courtship of Fraud
Shannon’s legal filing makes it clear that no formal discovery was conducted in their divorce. Both parties filed all documents, including financial affidavits, on the same day—March 12, 2021—and just five days later, a Final Judgment was entered. She now argues that Andrea used that rushed process to sneak fraudulent statements past the court and avoid scrutiny.
She’s asking the court to void the marital settlement and judgment entirely, and is seeking legal fees, citing Andrea’s deception and abuse of the process.
A Pattern Emerges
While this motion focuses solely on the divorce, Shannon notes Andrea is already a defendant in two separate civil lawsuits, both involving alleged fraud and tens of millions of dollars in damages. To her, the pattern is unmistakable.
This isn’t just a case of hidden bank accounts or poor accounting. It’s an accusation of full-scale, premeditated financial betrayal—against the very person who trusted him most.
The Bottom Line
If even a portion of these allegations is proven, Andrea D’Alessio Jr. will not just be remembered as a businessman or family man. He will go down as someone who lied to the court, stole from his wife, and weaponized the legal system to enrich himself at the expense of his own family.
As this case unfolds, one thing is certain: truth has finally caught up to Andrea D’Alessio—and no trust can protect him from that.
