Understanding the difference between high-asset and standard divorces can be confusing. The main way these two processes differ is due...
When high-profile, public figures go through a divorce, it often seems as if everyone knows all the details. High-net-worth couples may face challenges maintaining discretion, especially when privacy could be crucial for upholding your reputation and personal relationships.
Protecting your desire for confidentiality requires a deliberate approach by our team of lawyers. At The Riley Divorce & Family Law Firm, we could assist in managing the media and safeguarding your privacy.
Hiring a qualified public relations representative may help manage media inquiries while controlling what information you choose to share. Issuing a joint statement—rather than one from a single party—could address the situation and reduce speculation.
Limiting interviews and public appearances could reduce exposure. Establishing boundaries and carefully selecting what details to share may help preserve privacy. Keeping personal and financial matters confidential could support your effort to protect your reputation.
Social media could amplify gossip and false claims. Platforms such as Facebook, X, and Instagram should be set to the highest privacy levels. Avoid posting anything related to your case and consider staying off social media until the divorce is final. Our team at The Riley Divorce & Family Law Firm could create a social media clause as part of your divorce agreement that specifies what may be shared online about the separation and each party.
There are many ways our team could help you maintain your privacy. Whether it is issuing a non-disclosure agreement that binds all parties or asking the court to seal certain records, you have legal recourse to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information.
Seeking an alternative resolution may also help. Opting for mediation instead of settling differences in open court may help keep the divorce proceedings private. If necessary, our lawyers could file a defamation lawsuit or negotiate a retraction if there is a violation of your privacy.
Maintaining your confidentiality is crucial to protecting your family’s privacy, whether or not you are a prominent figure. Public attention could cause significant disruptions in your proceedings and may even jeopardize your safety. The Riley Divorce & Family Law Firm offers our clients 24-hour availability so we may serve you better.
