What Makes a Divorce High Net Worth?
High net worth divorces typically involve one or both spouses holding substantial assets, including business interests, multiple real estate holdings, retirement accounts, investment portfolios, and high-value personal property. When the net worth of a marital estate reaches into the millions, the legal process becomes more complicated.
Additional challenges include evaluating community property and separate property, managing high-value asset division, assessing tax consequences, and understanding California’s no fault divorce laws. Our experienced attorneys offer the legal counsel and representation needed to navigate these sensitive and detailed matters.
Key Issues in High Net Worth Divorce Cases
Every divorce case is different, but high net worth divorces often include the following legal issues:
Child custody and parenting plans that align with the children’s best interests
Spousal support calculations based on the couple’s pre-divorce lifestyle and one spouse’s income or earning capacity
Child support for private schooling, healthcare, and extracurricular activities
Property division, including real estate, stock options, family businesses, and international assets
Separate property tracing to confirm whether certain assets were acquired before marriage or by gift or inheritance
Legal separation strategies for spouses who wish to protect their assets without finalizing the divorce process
Complex Property and Asset Division
California is a community property state, which means that property acquired during the marriage is generally split equally unless there is a valid agreement otherwise. However, dividing complex property in high net worth divorces is rarely straightforward.
Our law firm works with financial professionals to evaluate high-value assets, determine fair market value, and uncover any hidden income or property. We handle retirement accounts using a qualified domestic relations order, trace separate property contributions, and advocate for equitable distribution.
If business law overlaps with your divorce—such as dividing shares in a closely held company—we offer coordinated legal representation to preserve your financial interests and minimize disruption to ongoing operations.

A divorce is considered high net worth when the marital estate includes substantial assets such as business interests, real estate, investments, or retirement accounts, typically valued in the millions.
Can I protect my separate property in a high net worth divorce?
Yes. Assets acquired before marriage or by gift or inheritance are generally separate property. However, documentation and careful tracing are required to maintain this classification.

Spousal support depends on various factors, including income, duration of the marriage, and the standard of living during the marriage. Courts may issue temporary and long-term support orders.
