High Net-Worth Divorce

Asset Division for Wealthy Couples in Corona, CA

What Makes High Net Worth Divorce Cases Complicated?

High net worth divorces can be more complicated in part because accurately assessing the value of assets is often difficult. Our Corona high net worth divorce attorneys can assist clients with financial issues involving:

  • Offshore accounts
  • Pensions
  • Trusts
  • Debt
  • Stock shares
  • Real estate valuation
  • Prenuptial agreements
  • Joint ownership or management of a business
  • Valuation of professional degrees earned after the marriage.

Our divorce attorneys can investigate and analyze your marital assets to help you determine an appropriate division of the property.

How Are Stocks and Bonds Divided During Divorce?

Two of the most common sources of contention in high net worth divorces are the division of stocks and bonds. Most married couples will choose to hire a financial advisor to manage their accounts so that they invest wisely. When a company that you have bought stock in prospers, so do you.

Conversely, you suffer financially when the company you have stock in suffers. One of the biggest factors to be taken into consideration when splitting large assets such as this is when the couple acquired the stock.

Say for example that one spouse was given stock options in a company when they went to work for that particular company. Upon divorce, that individual will likely retain that stock. If a couple invested in stock during marriage, it will likely be split equally upon divorce.
