Before a divorce can be granted, a number of issues must be resolved. When spouses in a marriage are high earners or have significant assets, these issues can become much more complicated. For instance, if one or both spouses own a business or a professional practice, it will be necessary to determine the proper value of the business. People with high net worth may have many different accounts and a variety of assets that must be properly evaluated. If the spouses entered into a prenuptial agreement, one spouse may question the validity of the agreement.
If you are about to divorce your spouse and you and/or your spouse has substantial assets, you need a lawyer and a law firm that is prepared to deal with these unique issues. The New York City family law firm of Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates can help.
An important step in any divorce involving high net worth individuals is to accurately evaluate all marital assets. It is important that all marital assets are considered when determining marital property. If you have reason to believe that your spouse has assets he or she is not acknowledging, we can work with experts to find any hidden assets. Our lawyers will work with accountants and other financial professionals to locate and analyze tax returns, income statements, investments, stock portfolios and other information. We also understand the tax considerations that can guide property division and spousal support arrangements.
Once we have determined what is considered marital property and properly evaluated all marital assets, our law firm will work to reach a property division arrangement that accomplishes your objectives. Our law firm has successfully represented family law clients in negotiations and litigation.
