Marital Asset Division
Property division is a central issue in most divorces, and it becomes even more critical when significant assets are involved. We conduct a thorough review to distinguish marital from non-marital assets, ensuring that real estate, investments, and other high-value items are divided fairly.

Spousal Maintenance Solutions
Alimony is determined based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial resources of each spouse, and the lifestyle established during the marriage. We help negotiate or litigate alimony arrangements to ensure they reflect your needs and obligations.

Business Valuation and Protection
For spouses who own businesses, determining the value of the company is crucial. We work with financial professionals to assess the business’s worth and develop solutions that protect your financial future, whether through division, buyout, or retention strategies.

Child Timesharing and Parenting Plans
Child timesharing arrangements are designed to prioritize the best interests of the child. Our legal team works with you to create a parenting plan that balances your family’s unique circumstances with your children’s needs, including considerations for education, travel, and extracurricular activities.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can play a significant role in high-net-worth divorces. We review, enforce, or challenge these agreements as needed, simplifying the divorce process and providing clarity about the division of assets and spousal support.
