Divorce brings out the worst in people and can quickly turn adversarial despite how amicably it may begin. While every marriage and subsequent breakup is different, high-asset divorces tend to be far more contentious and complex than regular divorces, which generally do not have as much at risk.

High asset divorce is high stakes with many potential landmines. It concerns complex issues such as property division, businesses, investments, and other significant financial interests. This process only becomes more complicated when there are children involved.

  • Investigate – In high asset divorce, the financial pictures should be thoroughly investigated as there may be hidden assets that must be revealed.
  • Do not ignore tax consequences – Tax considerations must be addressed, including debt liability, refund divisions, etc.
