Parslows for Family Law - High-value Divorce

What is a high net worth divorce?

A divorce in which the assets of either one or both parties exceed financial needs is considered a high net worth divorce. A high-value divorce takes into account assets of multiple forms, including property, business shares and overseas assets. Generally, the higher the values involved, the more complex the divorce can become.

What assets are involved in a high-value divorce?

During a high-value divorce, it’s a legal obligation for both parties to disclose all of their financial assets so that they can be considered for settlement.

These assets include:

●  Business shares
●  Trusts
●  Property
●  Pensions
●  Investments
●  Inherited wealth
●  Offshore assets

Protecting yourself from future financial claims

To protect yourself from future financial claims from your ex-partner, it’s crucial that you are completely honest about your financial assets and circumstances during the divorce proceedings.

If you withhold financial information that later comes to light, making the other party feel that the settlement was unfair, they can make a new claim against your assets.

Businesses in a high net worth divorce

Your business assets are likely to be a priority to both you and your partner during a divorce and can become a very complex manner. During divorce proceedings, it is preferable for both the value and employees of the business to be unaffected, which means that if you own or run the business, you’ll likely retain it following the divorce.

Hidden assets in high-value divorces

Complete financial transparency is expected of both parties during the divorce proceedings. If you or your partner believe that the other party is not being open and honest about their financial situation, you can review their finances.

Generally, if you withhold any financial information during proceedings, it is not looked upon favourably. If you successfully hide any assets throughout the divorce, it’s possible that your partner can make a later claim if new information comes to light.

What our clients say

“Help and support…”

‘Dear Barbara

I just wanted to write to thank you for all your help and support during the last year through my divorce proceedings.

As you know it has had its challenges but throughout the process you have been absolutely fantastic. You have explained things to me in a clear and non legal jargon way that I could understand and have been my calm when I went through the storm and kept me steady when I wasn't feeling stable at all.
You have been efficient and knowledgeable and have advised me in a way that suited my needs. Throughout the whole process you have supported me which has helped get me through this difficult time.

In fact all the staff I have come into contact with at Parslows have been wonderful.
A special mention also to Edward who helped me when I got flustered with the online payment system at the beginning.

I am looking forward to bringing more business to you when I am able to sell the house and finally move properly on.’

“Careful consideration and time …”

Thank you for steering the dispute to family foundation, something my ex-partners legal advisor should have requested form the outset as a first step. A summons to Royal Court would have been a very bad situation for all parties.
