A divorce can be a difficult and emotional journey. It is no secret that financials play a major role in the divorce process. No matter the relationship, couples will need to figure out how to divide their assets. Sometimes, this is a fairly simple procedure. But, the more assets a couple has, the more complicated things can get. For this reason, a high net worth divorce can become extremely complex and you may need a lawyer that specializes in divorces of this magnitude. .

What Constitutes a High Net Worth Divorce?
A high net worth divorce occurs when one or both spouses have a net worth of $1 million or more during the divorce case.
How do I Protect my Assets?
There are a few ways to protect your assets. One of the best ways to do this is to execute a prenuptial agreement before you are married. This is a document that protects your assets in the event of a divorce. Despite the stigma associated with prenuptial agreements, it is important to note that this document simply protects you and your spouse, and does not in any way indicate a potential divorce down the line. Reach out to us if you would like to draft a prenuptial agreement. If you did not create a prenuptial agreement before the marriage, you can still create a postnuptial agreement. This is the same document created after you have legally been married. This can be a difficult subject to broach with your spouse, but it can provide you both with peace of mind.
