What Makes a Divorce a High Net Worth Divorce?
Whether your divorce is handled in or out of court, the amount of wealth you and your spouse possess usually dictates how complicated the process can be. For military or civilian spouses or same-sex couples with a lot of property, your divorce may be considered a high net worth divorce if one or more of the following types of estates is involved:
- Real estate
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Businesses
- Retirement plans
- Antiques
- Valuables
In fact, if you’re not sure if your divorce can be classified as a high net worth divorce, a safe rule of thumb is that anything you consider to be an asset is an asset to the courts as well, which could turn your divorce into a high asset controversy.
Asset Division in High Net Worth Divorces
When considerable estates are at stake in a divorce, asset division often requires complex calculations, careful consideration of outside factors, and a comprehensive understanding of how intricate property types work. Our high net worth divorce lawyers in San Diego are well-experienced at dealing with each of these elements.
Protecting Wealth in Divorce
In highly contested cases, the wealthier spouse may have strategic advantages in divorce planning if they have been managing the couple’s finances. If you have more separate property than community property, we will find ways to prove it. Similarly, if your assets are substantial, we will carefully scrutinize any “mistakes” your spouse has made with regard to community property. This includes cases in which your spouse has taken financial advantage of you (e.g., bad investments, squandering community resources, hidden or misused monies).
What Are Some Issues that Can Create Controversy in a High Net Worth Divorce?
When many assets are at stake, you can expect high asset property division to be very contentious and time-consuming. Some of the assets we may have to divide include, but are not limited to:
- Businesses
- Real estate
- Autos
- Collection interests
- Valuable commodities
- Prenuptial agreements
- Inheritance
- Bank holdings
- Stock securities

"I will definitely be returning in the future if I ever come across another situation that will require great representation."
I stumbled across this firm when searching for a good and honest family lawyer in the San Diego area. I proceeded to call and had the pleasure of speaking with Nicholas. He is THE main reason why I agreed to pay $250 for my initial 1 hr. zoom interview with Ben. To be quite honest, I didn’t really care for any of the staff in this firm other than Nicholas. He is extremely personable and friendly and made me feel at ease during this nerve-wracking process. He took the time to talk to me on the phone for almost an hour and walked me through the process which allowed me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I truly appreciate all of your help Nick! Although I didn’t really care for the staff in this firm, I do have to give this firm a 5 star for being an honest and professional law firm. This is hard to come by. They didn’t hesitate in returning any unused funds and because of this, I have referred many of my friends and patients. I will definitely be returning in the future if I ever come across another situation that will require great representation. Thank you again for all your help!- Daniela (Google Review)
