High Net Worth Divorce Defined

As a couple from any financial background, the assets you do own are often contentious when it comes to splitting them up in a divorce. That said, being a high net worth individual means that you own at least $1 million in assets, and if you and/or your spouse are high net work individuals, you have a lot on the line. You need an attorney who can protect it. Look no further than Berman Voss.

Complicating Factors in High Net Worth Divorce

Aside from the sheer number of assets involved in high net worth divorces, high net individuals have to worry about certain specific types of assets that other couples may not have to. For example, high net worth divorces often involve the following:

• Multiple real estate properties
• Stocks, bonds, or other investments
• Luxury vehicles
• Expensive jewelry or memorabilia
• Retirement funds and 401(k)s
• Family businesses
• Potential debts accrued over the course of a marriage

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, courts divide these assets between spouses through a process known as equitable distribution. This means that a judge will essentially determine a fair and just split of assets between you and your spouse (typically not a 50/50 split), so it’s important you hire a competent high net worth divorce lawyer who can best present your case and advocate for your interests.

Protecting Your Assets

Aside from hiring a skilled divorce lawyer, you can act preemptively and protect your assets from a future divorce by drafting a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement with your spouse. Prenuptial agreements are drafted prior to marriage, and postnuptial agreements are drafted after marriage but prior to divorce. Both of these documents can clearly outline what will happen with certain assets, among other things, should you ever get divorced in the future.
