Divorce and Family Law Issues in Hinsdale, Illinois
The average income of Hinsdale residents is higher than in much of the rest of the Chicago area, the state of Illinois, and the United States as a whole. For this reason, when you choose to get a divorce, you may need to address a variety of complex issues related to high net worth. These may include:
- Property division - In addition to determining how you and your spouse will divide funds in bank accounts, real estate property, and valuable belongings like artwork and jewelry, you may also need to address issues such as pensions or retirement accounts or estates and trust funds.
- Spousal maintenance (alimony) - A spouse who earns more than their former partner may be required to pay spousal support. However, the guidelines in Illinois law for calculating maintenance payments only apply to couples with a combined net income below $500,000. If you or your spouse earn more than this amount, the judge in your case will have the discretion to award an amount of maintenance they believe is legally appropriate without use of the guidelines. We can help argue for a positive outcome in this discretionary universe.
- Business valuation and division - If you or your spouse own a family business or professional practice, you may need to work with an appraiser or forensic accountant to determine the value of your business interests, whether one party will be bought out of the business, or whether you will remain partners in the business after the divorce is finalized.
- Corporate officers and shareholders - If either spouse is an executive in a corporation, you may need to address complex financial issues such as bonuses, profit sharing, or deferred compensation in your divorce papers.
