Do I Need A High-Asset Divorce Attorney?
Attorneys who specialize in high-asset divorces can help clients manage their uncertainties and serve as advocates if conflicts escalate. Spouses with significant wealth will want an attorney who understands the value of their complicated assets and give them the clarity and confidence necessary to seek favorable negotiations.
How Is Divorce Different With A High Net Worth?
Divorce carries the same legal principles regardless of someone’s wealth. However, because high net worth couples tend to hold various complex assets, they can face additional challenges that often require a more sophisticated and specialized approach. For example, high net worth couples may have to figure out how to split the value of shared business earnings or investments.
Beyond assets, couples with significant wealth can also face complications with spousal support. For example, one spouse may hold all the wealth and have to pay a portion of it to the other spouse so they can maintain a similar standard of living.
What Qualifies As High-Asset Divorce?
High-asset divorces involve more than an individual’s net worth. It can also deal with the assets they accumulate throughout their marriage. If a couple decide to end their marriage, they must establish how they will divide those complex assets. A few examples include:
- Vacation homes
- Luxury vehicles
- Luxury watercrafts
- Real estate properties
- Business profits
- Company stock
- Retirement funds
- Investment portfolios
Whether couples have only a few or all of the asset examples listed above, high-asset divorces can take longer than average to resolve. However, while these divorces can come with additional complications, spouses with significant wealth can benefit from speaking with intelligent and empathetic legal counsel.
We have attorneys on staff who have been through divorce themselves and understand all the uncertainties and emotional turmoil that can come with it. We stick with our clients through every step of the process and always advocate diligently to seek their desired outcomes.
