How Our Attorneys Help In A High Net Worth Divorce
California is a community property state, meaning all marital assets (and debts) are divided equally. In addition, California has several options available for alimony: temporary, long-term, and rehabilitative. As your divorce attorney, we want to ensure you get your fair share of all assets available. We often employ forensic accountants to determine the full extent of your spouse’s earnings, investments, and assets, and it’s not unusual for us to uncover money or property you never knew existed. If you have shared debts with your spouse, we scrutinize the nature of each debt to determine if it’s truly marital debt or if your spouse should be fully responsible for paying it.
We also consider questions of alimony. If you put your career and education on the back burner to raise children or help your spouse succeed, we may demand a form of alimony. You may need temporary alimony to support yourself and your children while the divorce proceeds or rehabilitative alimony to help you finish your degree or vocational training so that you can secure a good job. In some cases, depending on the duration of your marriage, we may demand long-term alimony so that you can enjoy a similar standard of living as you did while you were married.
Representing You In Divorce Settlement Negotiations
Many high-net-worth couples strive to settle their divorce out of court, avoiding the publicity, cost, and time of a trial. We represent you in negotiations with your spouse and their lawyer, including mediation. If a pre- or postnuptial agreement is in place, we carefully review its terms to determine whether it is still fair to you and investigate whether your spouse’s actions violated the terms in some way, thus benefiting you.
The decisions you make today during your divorce will directly affect your future. You deserve a strong legal ally at each phase of the process, and Skarin Law Group delivers. Our high-net-worth divorce lawyer is ready to fight for your best interests. Call us today to get started.
