Summary of Divorce Laws
Because financial matters are at the core of disputes in high net worth divorce, there are two key issues to understand:
- Property division works according to equitable distribution in Florida. Assets and debts acquired after marriage belong to the couple, and they are split fairly in divorce. Items owned before the wedding, gifts, and inheritances are separate property that belongs to the individual.
- Either party can request alimony, and the judge may award it as necessary to close financial gaps between the parties. The court will then decide the type, amount, and duration of spousal support.
Challenges with High Net Worth Divorce
Taking these basic concepts and applying them to a divorce case of sizable value, you can see how complexities lead to disputes. For instance, many assets of high net worth couples are not held in a bank account that can simply be split. There may be complicated irrevocable trusts, LLCs, retirement accounts, and investments.
In addition, there are complications even when property is clearly separate because one spouse owned it before marriage. If the value of the asset appreciated considerably over the course of the marriage, the increase could be marital property.
Options for Resolving Disputes
The above divorce laws only apply if you are in court having a judge decide property division and alimony, but parties are encouraged to agree on these issues. The Law Office of Taryn G. Sinatra, Esq. will advise you during negotiations to ensure your interests are fully protected. We work with financial analysts and related experts, which are often necessary in high net worth cases.
