FOR HIGH-NET-WORTH DIVORCES, MONEY MATTERS

When you have millions, businesses, or investments at stake, the stakes aren’t just high - they’re personal. With so much on the line in New Jersey high-net-worth divorces, you need more than a lawyer; you need a strategist who protects what matters.

IF YOU’RE GOING THROUGH A HIGH-NET-WORTH DIVORCE, YOU FACE UNIQUE CHALLENGES

The financial side of divorce is rarely simple. Our Bergen County and New Jersey divorce lawyers have the experience to help high-net-worth clients understand their estates and protect what matters most while navigating the process. Key financial issues in a high-net-worth divorce include:

  • High-value personal property: including artwork, collections, cars, boats, furniture, and jewelry
  • Real estate assets: including residences, vacation properties, rental properties, and commercial real estate
  • Retirement assets including: 401(k) accounts, traditional and Roth IRAs, profit-sharing plans, and stock options
  • Privately-held business interests
  • Securities and other passive non-retirement investments
  • Determine what property, if any, is exempt from equitable distribution
  • Navigate prenuptial agreements
  • Structure spousal support
  • Distribute high-value marital property asset

EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN “EQUAL”

Splitting things isn’t the same as finding justice. In New Jersey, “equal” doesn’t always equal “fair,” and the right advocate understands that. We help clients protect their interests inside and outside of court. Because sometimes negotiation and give-and-take beat an expensive fight.

SEEKING THE SPOUSAL SUPPORT YOU DESERVE

Alimony remains one of the most contested parts of a divorce. How much is paid, or how much you receive, can depend on many New Jersey law factors. The good news: our Bergen County-based divorce lawyers know the system inside and out and guide you through every step. Some of the factors considered include:

  • The actual need and ability of the parties to pay
  • The duration of the marriage
  • The ages and physical and emotional health of the parties
  • The standard of living established in the marriage
  • The likelihood that each party can maintain a reasonably comparable standard of living
  • Earning capacities, educational levels, vocational skills, and employability of the parties
  • The equitable distribution of property and any payouts on equitable distribution
