High Net Worth Divorce FAQ
The following questions address common concerns our clients have about high-asset divorce cases.
How Are Closely Held Businesses Valued During A Divorce?
In high-asset cases, a family business is often the most valuable asset. We work with financial professionals to determine the fair market value of the entity by looking at tangible assets, revenue and “goodwill.” Our goal is to ensure the valuation is accurate so your portion of the business interest remains protected. An experienced attorney can help you understand how these valuations impact your overall settlement.
What Happens If I Suspect My Spouse Is Hiding Assets?
High-net-worth cases often involve complex financial structures that obscure assets. We use detailed discovery processes and forensic accountants to trace funds, identify offshore accounts and uncover hidden transfers. Our team ensures that all assets, including community property, are disclosed to support a “just and equitable” division. You need a lawyer who knows how to dig deep into financial records to ensure a fair outcome.
Will A High Net Worth Divorce Automatically Go To Trial?
While these cases are often hard-fought, many are resolved through strategic negotiation or mediation. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial to maintain a position of strength. This thorough approach often encourages the other party to settle fairly without the need for a public courtroom battle. Our firm provides the aggressive advocacy you need to protect your interests, in or out of court.
