To learn more about our work in the area of high-net-worth divorce, please follow the links below:
- Can I afford to get a divorce with a large sum of assets? We frequently hear this question from people who believe they have too much to lose to divorce. They stay in unhappy marriages—sometimes for years—when they believe they cannot afford to get a divorce.
- Hidden assets: Divorces — especially those involving the division of closely held small to mid-sized businesses — can sometimes involve hidden assets. When this happens, we have the resources and connections necessary to locate them for proper division.
- Valuing professional practices and businesses: Valuing a professional practice can be extremely difficult because much of the value is in the individual’s contribution, not in merchandise or interests that can be easily divided. If you have questions, we have answers.
- Pensions, IRAs, and 401ks: Statues significantly affect the division of retirement savings accounts. If any of your assets are in IRAs or 401(k)s, we can discuss your options.
- Qualified Domestic Relations Orders: QDROs create or recognize the existence of an alternate payee’s right to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable under a retirement plan. We can explain what this means for you.
- Divorce Tax Issues: Some people may have significant questions and concerns about how getting divorced might affect them from a tax perspective. We can help ensure clients get the tax advice they need from tax professionals.
- Maintaining Lifestyle: Many individuals have spent their entire lives working hard to maintain a lifestyle that they have sought out. We can help individuals going through divorce ensure they are put in the best financial position possible after a divorce.
- Business Owners: Many individuals have spent their whole lives trying to create a successful business or have assisted their spouse in building up this interest. It can be stressful when that business interest becomes part of a divorce proceeding. However, we can help ensure that a business interest is fairly evaluated.
- Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements: Many individuals are interested in putting together a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement prior to entering into a marriage or after the wedding date to ensure that there are not lengthy and contentious divorce proceedings later if the marriage ends in divorce. In these instances, we can help.
- Farm Divorce: In certain cases, parties going through a divorce may own a family farm. This can result in the farm itself, equipment, livestock, and other valuable assets being involved in a divorce. We can help you if this is the case.
- Vocational Examination: The income-producing potential of a husband and wife can be an important issue in a spousal support or child support case. A vocational examination can be useful in many of these cases where the current income of a party does not appropriately reflect what they could make.
- Real Estate Portfolios: Real estate can be an important issue in divorce cases where the parties own rental property and other valuable real estate. We can work with parties in these cases to ensure these assets are property valuated and apportioned.
- Delayed Compensation: Sometimes, a party may be compensated through delayed compensation. This is an important area that should not be overlooked in a divorce.
- Overseas Assets: Overseas assets can be a significant issue in certain cases. You must have an attorney who understands how to address this issue.
