If you or your spouse own significant assets, operate a small business, or administer a private or family trust you may be a high net worth individual. In financial circles, the term high net worth is commonly associated with individuals that have liquid assets of at least $1,000,000 or a net worth of over $2,000,000.
Individuals with high net worth often lack the luxury of time to develop and implement strategies necessary to achieve their goals in family law matters. If you have high net worth and divorce or dissolution is on the horizon, it is critical to consult legal counsel as soon as possible.
If you have significant assets and your marriage is ending, it is important to retain a knowledgeable attorney who can implement sophisticated strategies to value and divide marital assets.

Lawyers Should Stay in Their Own Lane
Many people with high net worth are accustomed to seeking advice from legal counsel for business matters and financial transactions. Those same individuals, however, may not know where to find the caliber of legal representation required to guide them through the kind of life-changing events that coincide with divorce or dissolution. On the other hand, an everyday family law practitioner with a reputation for litigating parenting cases may lack the knowledge and experience necessary to advise high net worth clients. If you have high net worth and divorce or dissolution is on the horizon, it is critical to consult experienced legal counsel.
What is My Strategy
Litigation is rarely the end-goal in high net worth cases. If your divorce or dissolution involves complex property issues, business interests, appreciation of premarital assets or projections of future cash flow, you may benefit from retaining an expert witness early in the process. An expert opinion or preliminary written report early in the process can often lead to communication between the parties and their attorneys that results in settlement.
Expert witnesses can offer opinions, prepare written reports, and provide expert testimony on specific topics such as business valuations, tax projections, forensic accounting, vocational evaluations, earnings capacity assessments, stock options, present day valuations for pensions and annuities, residential and corporate real estate appraisals as well as appraisals of jewelry, uncommon vehicles, and other collectables.
Are any of the following at issue in your divorce or dissolution:
Business Valuation
Dissolution of Business Property/Interests
Professional Good Will Valuation
Alternative Executive Compensation
Stocks and Stock Options
IRA’s, Pensions and Retirement Accounts
Real Estate and Investment Properties
Large Scale Marital Estates
Antiques, Jewelry, Valuable Collectibles
Trust Income
