FAQ FOR HIGH-NET WORTH CLIENTS
How do we handle commingled non-marital assets?
We identify assets that may be excluded from division in a divorce, whether they are relatively easy to identify and value or highly complex and hidden. We work with a trusted team of financial experts and bring decades of experience to that process.
Can we avoid a public trial?
We prioritize private settlement and Collaborative Divorce processes to keep your financial disclosures off the public record.
What about maintenance in high-income households?
We know the law and how to position your case to achieve the best possible result. We routinely advocate for sophisticated maintenance structures that reflect the realities of your lifestyle and future earning capacity.
