DIVORCE

On your wedding day you never imagined that you would ever seek a divorce from the person you loved. But over time, people and circumstances change. The person you knew and loved has been having an affair, or has developed an alcohol or drug problem, or you have lost your home in a foreclosure, or your spouse is addicted to gambling, or one of your children has lost interest in school and is failing, in large part because he sees and hears you and your spouse arguing with each other all the time. Perhaps your spouse has children from a prior marriage or relationship and the children live with you. They disrespect you. Your spouse does not stand up for you when the children treat you badly. Maybe you are subjected to physical abuse by your spouse. You tell yourself, “I’ll tough it out,” and try to make this marriage work. You try counseling. It does not help. The problems in your marriage have become so severe that you have difficulty functioning on a day to day basis. Divorce becomes your only option.

COMPLEX DIVORCE

Complex (high net worth) divorce cases are usually the most hotly contested divorce cases in the Florida courts. They can be extremely complicated because of the assets which must be distributed between the parties, such as a family business, high income, hidden assets, inheritances, pension plans, professional practices and partnerships, real estate, stock portfolios, executive compensation packages, stock options, trusts, antiques, etc. The final determination as to how assets will be divided between you and your spouse can make an enormous financial impact on you going forward, and it is therefore essential that you contact a high net worth divorce attorney as soon as possible.

Florida law provides for equitable distribution of marital assets and debts in a divorce. When complex assets are involved, determining which property is marital or which property is non-marital can be a challenge. Challenging issues may involve a valuation of a family business or a valuation of a pension plan to include tax ramifications.

If you have a complex divorce, we will thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case. We will determine the nature and value of all the assets and debts. We will also consult with our network of experienced professionals, such as property appraisers, business valuators, and forensic accountants (CPAs) to help us understand the true value of an asset and have that expert advocate our position. If you believe that your spouse is hiding significant assets, we will employ trusted private investigators who will utilize their extensive resources and contacts to try to locate the hidden assets.

Complex divorces are time consuming and are too sophisticated to entrust to an inexperienced attorney. Do not gamble with your high-stakes divorce.
