Just as with ownership of any significant asset, being the owner of a sports team comes with complex legal concerns....
High-conflict, high-net-worth divorce asks a lot of the people involved. Approaching the proceedings with a degree of detachment and emotional maturity is key to meeting your financial objectives.
At The Riley Divorce & Family Law Firm, we recognize that a high-conflict divorce requires calm, knowledgeable, and strategic legal support. We have guided numerous prominent high net-worth couples through contentious marriage dissolution. Our knowledge and skills are unmatched, and we could show you how to handle a high-conflict divorce with significant wealth at stake.
Wealthy individuals often have strong competitive instincts. When you and your spouse are in conflict, you could easily become overly focused on winning, rather than concluding the proceedings swiftly and moving forward with your life.
Our lawyers could help you focus on your most important objectives in the divorce and develop a plan for achieving them. Reframing your divorce so that you view it as a means to achieve your goals can foster a more businesslike atmosphere and reduce the volatility of negotiations.
You should not discount the value of emotional support during the dissolution of marriage. Many clients benefit from working with a therapist to help them maintain appropriate boundaries and focus during a tumultuous divorce, especially when managing substantial finances.
Dealing with a high-asset, contentious divorce requires the assistance of numerous professionals throughout the process. Our lawyers may collaborate with Chartered Business Valuators, tax lawyers, accountants holding the Certified in Financial Forensics credential, and appraisers, utilizing their expertise. When you have young children, input from doctors, mental health professionals, and education specialists may be required when deciding on parenting time arrangements.
Being willing to accept the conclusions of experts can smooth every aspect of your divorce. Challenging a finding when you have support for your position is valid, but arguing over every expert opinion results in unnecessary expense, delays, and increased conflict.
A divorce can be difficult for children, especially when the parents are in conflict. Focusing on their well-being and recognizing that their interests are separate from your own could help you stay grounded during divorce negotiations.
Many wealthy couples have multiple family homes, and dividing your interest in them during a divorce can be a source of conflict. An outcome that promotes stability for the children and considers the memories they have created in specific places can help them adjust to the divorce.
Publicity about the divorce can also be devastating for children. Wealthy couples reap numerous benefits from resolving a divorce through mediation or another private process, but the greatest benefit may be that discretion protects the children. Our lawyers could work with a mediator or collaborative divorce team to resolve the outstanding issues in your high-asset divorce outside of court.
Many lawyers avoid high-conflict divorces, but our team at The Riley Divorce & Family Law Firm skillfully manages these challenging cases. We also possess the financial expertise to provide exceptional representation to high-net-worth couples. Contact us today to learn how to handle a high-conflict divorce with significant wealth at stake.
