Identifying and Dividing Assets in Complex Situations

Asset protection is the overarching goal of high net worth divorce. While it can be expensive, protecting your assets properly by using a skilled divorce attorney should ultimately prove valuable at the conclusion of the proceedings. Our firm, led by attorney Judith Wayne, seeks practical, cost-efficient solutions to complex property division issues.

In these cases, we often recommend that our clients consult with experts such as business valuators, forensic accountants, tax experts and others who specialize in finance. Through the use of these experts, a client is often able to locate and value hidden assets in order to divide them fairly. Some of the property involved in high net worth cases includes:

• Real estate such as vacation homes or rental properties

• Pensions, retirement assets and stock options

• Stock portfolios

• Business assets and professional practices

• Hidden assets

• Inheritances

• Trusts

As in every divorce, our firm will work diligently to resolve issues of:

• Child custody and visitation

• Child support

• Spousal support/alimony

If you and your spouse signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, some of these issues may be decided in that document. We will analyze the agreements and work to protect your contractual rights.
