The Division Of High-Asset Marital Estates

Our attorneys can protect your financial future in a high-asset divorce, including handling the following types of assets:

• Businesses and professional practices: Dividing businesses or professional practices such as a law firm or medical office can be complicated. We help determine whether they count as marital or separate property and consult on how they may need to be divided during divorce.
• Retirement assets such as pensions and IRA and 401(k) accounts: No one wants to lose their retirement plans due to divorce. We help spouses who are nearing retirement age take the necessary steps to protect their retirement assets and plans.
• Stocks and investments: These types of assets require careful consideration and valuation. We help determine their worth and offer guidance on how to protect or divide them during divorce.
• Multiple homes: When spouses have multiple real estate properties, it can be complicated to determine how to handle all of them. We can help you decide whether selling or renting your homes is an ideal option and how to fairly divide the profits.
• Jewelry, furniture, antiques and other personal property: Personal belongings hold not only monetary value but also sentimental value. We take this into consideration when determining the worth of these items and how to divide them.

We can guide you through complex divorce issues such as discovering hidden assets and income, settling prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and addressing complicated retirement division issues that arise in gray divorces.

We can address all of your divorce concerns, including spousal support and modifications.
