High-Asset Divorce

High Net Worth & Financially Complex Divorce

Divorce is a difficult process that can all too easily be extremely complicated when the marital estate includes substantial assets. When substantial assets are present, a number of analyses need to be performed, including:

How were the assets acquired?
Were the assets acquired before or during the marriage?
What was the value of an asset on the date of marriage if it was acquired before the marriage?
If an asset was acquired before the marriage, has the asset been kept separate from the marital finances or was it woven into the fabric of the marriage?
Did increases in value or equity of an asset occur during the marriage and if so, what is the value of that increase?
If you own a business, what is the real value of the business?
Is there a difference between Subchapter C and Subchapter S corporations for divorce business evaluation purposes?
Are there income tax or capital gains tax ramifications for any assets of the marriage?

Ensuring that these and the other relevant financial questions are appropriately addressed and answered calls for securing the help of a family law attorney who has a focus on the financial aspects of divorce.
