High Net Worth Divorce in Burr Ridge, IL
During a high asset divorce, you may need to determine how to resolve some or all of the following issues:
- Asset division - You and your spouse may need to divide multiple types of high-value property, including houses or vacation homes, vehicles, jewelry, artwork, stocks and investments, and retirement funds or pensions.
- Business valuation - You will need to determine the value of any business assets owned by you or your spouse, and you may need to take steps to protect a family business or professional practice.
- Spousal support/alimony - A lower-earning spouse may need to receive financial support from the other spouse that will allow them to maintain their standard of living. If your combined net income is $500,000 or more, a judge may need to make special considerations to determine the amount and duration of spousal maintenance payments.
- Asset dissipation or hidden assets - In many high net worth cases, a spouse may attempt to conceal property, or they may waste marital assets on non-marital pursuits, such as affairs or addictions. You may need to take legal action to require your ex-spouse to reimburse the marital estate for any hidden or dissipated assets.
- Tax issues - The tax deductions, credits, and exemptions available to you following your divorce can impact your financial stability in the years to come. You will want to be sure to understand how decisions about marital property, child custody, spousal maintenance, and child support will affect your taxes.
- Wealth protection - You may want to take steps to protect assets and ensure that they will be used to provide for your family members. Methods of doing so include creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement or an asset protection trust.
