High Asset Divorce

Divorce under any circumstances involves emotional and financial risks, and parties to a dissolution of marriage need legal counsel to see that all matters are addressed appropriately.

Is High Asset Divorce Different?

All elements of your estate need to be properly characterized; that business shares, retirement benefits, and real estate holdings are accurately valued; and that your divorce settlement agreement addresses the division of shared assets in a way that maximizes the benefits of available tax and investment options.
