When Assets Are Substantial: Navigating High Net Worth Divorce

Divorce can be emotionally and financially challenging, but these difficulties are amplified in a high-asset divorce. The experienced attorneys at Pyfrom & Reisler, P.A., understand the complexities of dividing significant marital estates and protecting your financial future.

A high-asset divorce typically involves a combined net worth of millions of dollars or more. These cases necessitate careful consideration of various factors, including:

• Division of assets: Florida law mandates equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities. This means assets acquired during the marriage are divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Our attorneys will thoroughly evaluate all assets, including real estate, investment accounts and businesses.
• Spousal support (alimony): Spousal support considerations in high-asset divorces are complex. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity and the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage. Based on your circumstances, we will advocate for a fair and sustainable alimony arrangement.

Your divorce could also include negotiation for child support and other considerations depending on your circumstances.

Complexities And Considerations

High-asset divorces often involve:

• Business valuation: Businesses and professional practices require specialized valuation techniques to determine fair market value for equitable distribution.
• Complex financial instruments: Investment portfolios and other financial instruments can pose challenges. Our attorneys work with qualified financial experts to accurately assess these assets.

We understand the emotional and financial strain of high-asset divorce. Our compassionate and dedicated divorce attorneys will guide you through every step, protecting your rights and working toward a favorable resolution.
