The Intricacies of a High Net Worth Divorce

Couples who have substantial holdings and large estates face unique challenges during the divorce process that are unlike most divorce cases. In many cases, property distribution includes:

Business Holdings

When, as a couple, you own a business together or have several business enterprises, separating those ownerships can be complicated. You have worked hard to create these businesses and you certainly don’t want to lose out on the benefits of the business you helped build. We will work with you to protect it during the divorce proceedings and in the final legal settlement.

Stock Options and Investments

You may have earned stock options through your employment or you and your spouse may have created an investment portfolio together. Our team of divorce attorneys will work to separate these accounts in a manner that looks after your best interests.

Multiple Bank Accounts

In a high net worth divorce, many couples have multiple bank accounts that are jointly owned, including savings, checking, business, and money market accounts. Our legal team will help you protect these accounts from actions of bad faith.

Other Marital Assets in an Estate

Some additional assets you and your spouse may own together can include:

  • Vacation homes
  • Watercraft and boats
  • Rental property
  • High-value furnishings and art
  • Retirement accounts and 401(k) holdings

Customer Reviews

  • I thought my divorce from my wife was going to be complicated and lengthy because of the assets we acquired during our 28-year marriage. We co-owned a business together, we owned a couple of rental properties at the beach, and we had been saving to our retirement accounts for many years. I contacted Irons & Irons for their reputation with high-net-worth divorce and I'm so glad I did. They guided me throughout the whole process.

    Chuck Powers

  • After 19 years of marriage, I wanted a divorce, but my husband and I both own rental property together, plus a large investment portfolio. I heard Irons & Irons did a lot of work for high net worth divorce, and I'm so glad I chose them. They were able to create a clear picture of our finances and they fought for what I was entitled to so I wouldn't lose out on years of hard work or have to start over from scratch!

    Sandy Garcia

  • With the kids grown up, my wife and I realized it was time to go our separate ways. We own several businesses and I was afraid I'd lose everything in my divorce. I didn't want to start over with nothing at 55, so I went to Irons & Irons because I know they deal in high net worth divorces. I talked to Gib Irons who brought in a financial expert to look over my information, and he created a settlement solution that made sure I wouldn't struggle to start over. It was so much easier than I thought it would be.

    Gilbert Hernandez

  • Before our divorce, my husband and I had built a pretty good sized retirement account and investment portfolio. I didn't have any idea how that could be divided up. However, Gib Irons explained how high net worth divorce worked and he helped me come through my divorce with what I needed to start over in my new life without worrying about money.

    Tonya Williams

  • My wife and I owned some commercial rental property and a successful landscaping business, plus we had a vacation house at the beach. Irons & Irons went through my assets with me and got a clear look at my assets, then went to bat for me in court so I wouldn't lose all my hard work. I'm so glad I went with them because they really understand high-net-worth divorces.
