Our family law attorneys are dedicated to providing exceptional guidance through every step of the family law process.

Creative Solutions For High-Asset Divorces

Divorce that involves significant assets is often more complex and requires careful consideration. High-asset divorces generally involve large assets such as businesses and professional practices, retirement accounts, stocks and investments, multiple real estate properties, jewelry, antiques or other valuable personal property. These types of assets all hold significant worth and can be difficult to divide fairly between spouses.

Businesses and professional practices may need additional valuation to determine their worth before you can decide the best way to divide them during property division. As North Carolina is an equitable distribution state, you will not receive an equal 50/50 division of assets but a fair and equitable division of all your marital property. We have the experience you need to handle these complex assets and achieve a resolution that protects your most valued property.

Board-Certified Family Law Specialists

When it comes to family law, our attorneys are more than just knowledgeable – several of our lawyers are board-certified as specialists in family law by the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization.

This means we have met a set of standards regarding our work, experience and reputation to achieve this type of qualification. Our attorneys take family law very seriously and regularly stay up to date regarding the laws. With our skill and knowledge of North Carolina family law, we are proud to represent Durham families with their legal needs with confidence and compassion.
