High Net-Worth Divorce 

Corona High Net Worth Divorce Lawyer

Asset Division for Wealthy Couples

California is a "community property" state, meaning that property is not divided equitably among spouses, but equally. All property acquired during the marriage is jointly owned, with inheritances and personal gifts being the exceptions, as well as any property subject to a postnuptial agreement.

Assets are divided evenly, and in the event that any specific item cannot be physically divided, the valuation of that property becomes of the utmost importance. High net worth divorces are typically far more complex than the majority of divorce cases, necessitating specialized and experienced legal representation and a deep understanding of the workings of family law.

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.
