High Net Worth Divorce Property Division

Of particular concern in a high net worth divorce is marital property and property division. Any assets that are considered marital property could be subject to division between you and your spouse. At Pickney Law Firm, we strive to help you protect your separate property and properly value both your and your spouse’s assets.

New York utilizes an equitable distribution system for property distribution. This means that a judge will divide the property based on what is ruled “fair” but not “equal.” If you believe that you have earned the right to hold onto a piece of marital property due to your sole investment, we could potentially present that case for you to retain it when the divorce finalizes.

On the other hand, we may also utilize full financial disclosure techniques to ensure that your spouse has not attempted to hide valuable assets from you prior to the divorce proceedings. Hiding assets is one of the most crucial mistakes someone can make during a divorce.

Property that could be divided in a high net worth divorce includes:

• Bank accounts
• Real estate
• Cars and other automobiles
• Stocks and stock options
• Closely held businesses
• The family home
• Retirement assets
• Furniture and household items
• Collectibles and heirlooms

At Pickney Law Firm, we have extensive experience helping clients by valuing, assigning, and dividing property appropriately. When needed, we call in experts such as financial analysts and other professionals who can assist with the process.
