High Net Worth Divorce in Riverside

Asset Division in High Net Worth Divorce

High net worth divorces are typically far more complex than the majority of divorce cases, necessitating specialized and experienced legal representation and a deep understanding of the workings of family law. California is a "community property" state, meaning that property is not divided equitably among spouses , but equally. All property acquired during the marriage is jointly owned, with inheritances and personal gifts being the exceptions , as well as any property subject to a postnuptial agreement. Assets are divided evenly, and in the event that any specific item cannot be physically divided, the valuation of th at property becomes of the utmost importance.

High net worth divorces can be more complicated in part because accurately assessing the value of assets is often difficult. Our firm can assist clients with financial issues involving offshore accounts, pensions, stock shares, real estate valuation, trusts, prenuptial agreements, debt, joint ownership or management of a business, and valuation of professional degrees earned after the marriage.
