What is a High Asset Divorce?

A high net worth divorce or high asset divorce is a divorce involving individuals with significant assets, typically exceeding $1 million in net worth. These divorces tend to be more complex due to the division of substantial financial holdings, business interests, and high-value assets.

Common issues in high net worth divorce include:

  • Asset Division – Determining how to fairly divide assets such as real estate, investments, business holdings, stocks, and retirement accounts.
  • Business Valuation – If one or both spouses own a business, its valuation and division can be contentious.
  • Hidden Assets – One party may attempt to hide assets in offshore accounts, trusts, or through underreporting.
  • Spousal Support (Alimony) – The high income of one spouse may lead to significant alimony payments.
  • Tax Implications – Asset division and alimony can lead to complex tax consequences that need careful planning.
  • Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements – Enforceability and terms of any existing agreements must be reviewed.
  • Multiple Properties & Luxury Assets – Dividing vacation homes, yachts, private jets, fine art, jewelry, and other luxury assets.
  • Stock Options & Investments – High-value investments, stock options, and deferred compensation plans must be considered.
  • Trusts & Inheritances – Determining whether certain family wealth or inherited assets should be included in the marital estate.
  • Child Support & Custody – High-income divorces can involve substantial child support payments and disputes over private school tuition, nannies, and other expenses.
