Asset Valuation and Division 

One of the most challenging aspects of a high net worth divorce is the accurate valuation and fair division of assets. Our team works alongside leading financial experts to thoroughly assess your financial situation and ensure a fair division. We have extensive experience handling complex financial portfolios, including: 

Spousal Maintenance and Child Support 

Determining appropriate financial provision can be particularly complex in high net worth cases. Our solicitors are skilled in negotiating and, when necessary, litigating these matters to ensure you receive a fair and equitable outcome. We consider all relevant factors, including: 

  • Standard of living during the marriage 
  • Earning capacity of both parties 
  • Children’s ongoing needs 
  • Future financial security 
  • Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial Agreements 

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements can provide crucial protection for your assets. Our team can help you draft, review, and enforce these agreements, ensuring they’re legally sound and tailored to your circumstances. We provide straightforward advice to help you understand your options and make informed decisions. 

International Considerations 

High net worth divorces often involve international elements, such as overseas properties or business interests. Our solicitors have extensive experience handling cross-border divorce cases and can provide expert advice on jurisdictional issues, asset tracing, and enforcement of orders.

FAQs

What is considered a high net worth divorce?

A high net worth divorce typically involves couples with significant assets, often exceeding £1,000,000 in combined assets. This can include property portfolios, business interests, investments, pensions, and other valuable assets.

How is property divided in a high net worth divorce?

Property division in a high net worth divorce depends on your individual circumstances and what would constitute a fair approach. The court considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, the nature of the assets, the needs of both parties and any children, and both parties' contributions. This can result in an equal or unequal division of assets.

What happens to our children during the divorce process?

Arrangements for children, including residence and contact arrangements, need to be addressed. These arrangements can be agreed upon mutually or, if necessary, through court intervention to ensure the children's best interests are prioritised.

Can I protect my business in a divorce?

Business assets often require special consideration in high net worth divorces. Our team has extensive experience in protecting business interests and can advise on various strategies, including pre-nuptial agreements, shareholders' agreements, and appropriate settlement structures.

What is mediation, and how can it help?

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party helps the divorcing couple reach an agreement on various issues without going to court. It can be a more private, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve disputes. We can advise on whether mediation would be suitable for your circumstances.

How are international assets handled in a high net worth divorce?

International assets can complicate the divorce process. Our team has experience handling cross-border divorces to ensure all assets are accurately valued and fairly divided, regardless of their location.

What if there is no pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement?

If there is no pre-nuptial agreement, the division of assets will be determined based on fairness and other relevant factors. It's still possible to reach a private settlement through negotiation or mediation, and our team will work to protect your interests throughout this process.
