Thorough Evaluation of Property Division Issues
Handling a high net worth divorce case starts with a detailed analysis of the property involved. The first step, of course, is determining which assets are subject to distribution.
Business Interests, Enhanced Earning Capacity, and Other Marital Assets
When it comes to high asset divorce cases, the property that must be divided isn't always easily defined. In many cases, enhanced earning capacity and post-secondary degrees are treated like property. If any portion of the degree was obtained during the marriage, the corresponding increase in salary can be considered a marital asset.
Additionally, ownership of a business or extensive real property interests, for example, often make it necessary to turn to valuation, accounting and appraisal experts in order to accurately estimate the marital estate. We will take every step necessary to obtain a fair valuation of the marital asset.
Rest assured, we know exactly what to do to take on these unique issues.
Other Issues in High Net Worth Divorce
Of course, property division isn't the only issue that requires experienced counsel in high asset cases. Custody, visitation, child support and spousal maintenance can also be very challenging in this context.
