High Net Worth Divorce Attorneys in Hays County, Austin, Bastrop, and New Braunfels

A high net worth divorce involves individuals or couples with significant assets—whether in the form of real estate, investments, businesses, or retirement funds. These cases often require specialized legal knowledge and financial expertise to ensure that assets are properly valued and fairly divided.

High net worth divorces may involve:

• Real Estate: Multiple properties, including primary residences, vacation homes, and investment properties.
• Business Interests: One or both spouses may own a business or have significant ownership interests in a company, which must be properly valued and divided.
• Investments and Retirement Accounts: Complex investment portfolios, pensions, 401(k)s, and other retirement plans that require careful analysis and division.
• Hidden Assets: In some cases, one spouse may attempt to hide assets to avoid an equitable division. We employ strategies to uncover hidden assets and ensure a fair settlement.
• Luxury Items and Collectibles: High-value items such as art, jewelry, cars, and other valuable collections that need to be evaluated and divided.

High net worth divorces are distinct from typical divorce cases due to the complexity of the financial matters involved. A thorough understanding of both family law and financial issues is critical for a successful outcome. Challenges often include:

Asset Valuation and Division

Properly valuing and dividing assets is one of the most critical aspects of a high net worth divorce. Real estate, businesses, stocks, retirement accounts, and other assets must be carefully assessed by professionals to ensure they are divided fairly. Our team works with financial experts, forensic accountants, and appraisers to ensure an accurate valuation and fair distribution.

Business Interests and Ownership

If one or both spouses have ownership in a business, the division of business interests can be particularly complex. We help you navigate issues like business valuation, buyouts, and the continuation of operations after divorce.

Spousal Support

In high net worth divorce cases, spousal support may be an important issue, particularly if one spouse has been financially dependent on the other. We help negotiate fair spousal support terms that take into account the length of the marriage, the financial status of both spouses, and the standard of living.
