High Asset Divorce
The complexities of a high asset divorce can bring unique challenges, particularly in regards to the equitable division of marital property. The proper steps must be taken to ensure that all relevant business interests, hidden or foreign assets, retirement accounts and other assets are properly identified and valued. At Saltzgiver & Boyle, we work closely with accountants, forensic accountants, actuaries, business valuation professionals, and other experts to help us prepare the strongest possible case for our clients.
In addition to financial concerns, many high income or high net worth individuals, as well as those in public roles, are concerned with maintaining their privacy in family and divorce matters. That’s why our attorneys handle these cases with the utmost discretion. Depending on the circumstances of the case, private, non-litigated pretrial solutions can also help keep private details of a divorce out of the public eye.
Our clientele includes a wide range of professionals, public figures, and individuals seeking to preserve their wealth, including: Doctors & Medical Professionals, Legal Professionals, Accountants & Financial Professionals, Executives, Business Owners, Elected Officials or their spouses.
