Divorce is Complicated, We Make it Easier

We focus on the financial details that are important for high net worth marriages, including:

• Business Valuation and Division – Providing an accurate value on your family business is complex, and critical to receiving an equitable division during a divorce property settlement. You need an industry professional to help you determine the value of all company shares, and evaluate all tax implications of dividing a business in a divorce.
• Strategies to Limit Tax Liability – There are tax implications of dividing properties, investments, and shares of a business. We inform you of any negative tax implications and help to limit your tax liability with professional analysis and professional tax planning.
• Dividing Real Estate – Dividing real estate in a high asset divorce can have significant consequences. Accurate appraisals are required, as well as a thorough analysis of ongoing implications such as real estate taxes and any needed repairs or improvements. Dividing the marital home is typically 50/50 with couples selling the home and splitting the equity or one staying in the home and buying the other out. Vacation homes and rental properties may be treated differently and require professional guidance to protect your rights.
• Separate Property Holdings – Property that either spouse came into the marriage owning or properties that are deemed separate by nature like gifts or inheritances should be specifically excluded from the marital assets and property division settlement.
• Pensions, Retirement, and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QRDOs) – Pension benefits earned during the marriage are generally considered a joint asset, therefore the length of the marriage can affect spousal rights to pension benefits. Speak with an experienced high net worth divorce lawyer to ensure your pension is calculated correctly and for direction with any issuance of the proper Qualified Relations Order (QRDO), which recognizes the joint ownership of retirement accounts and direct benefits to the former spouse.
• Stocks, IRAs, 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plans – when dividing stock investments be sure to consider the total number of shares rather than the dollar values as this may change with the market.

We are passionate about managing and preserving your family’s assets and bank account, and protecting your financial resources.
