Request A CallbackHow are business assets handled in a high net worth divorce?
Business assets often require careful handling during divorce proceedings. We can work with specialist forensic accountants to obtain accurate valuations and develop strategies to protect business interests while ensuring a fair settlement. This is often done by a joint approach with the other person. Options may include offsetting the value against other assets, creating a deferred payment schedule, or restructuring ownership.
Can assets be hidden during divorce proceedings?
Attempting to hide assets during divorce proceedings is a serious matter that can result in severe penalties from the Court. Our team has extensive experience in identifying undisclosed assets and can work with forensic accountants to achieve financial transparency.
How are international assets dealt with in divorce?
International assets add complexity to divorce proceedings due to varying legal jurisdictions. Our team has experience handling international elements in high net worth divorces and can advise on jurisdiction issues, enforcement of orders across borders, and the implications of foreign assets on your settlement.
What is the role of prenuptial agreements in high net worth divorces?
While not automatically legally binding in England and Wales, prenuptial agreements are increasingly influential in Court decisions, particularly in high net worth cases. When deciding whether to hold the parties to the terms of the Pre Nuptial agreement, the Court will consider if it was freely entered into with full understanding and if it provides a fair outcome. Our solicitors can advise on the strength of existing agreements or help create robust new ones.
How long does a high net worth divorce typically take?
The duration depends on the complexity of the financial arrangements and the level of cooperation between parties. Straightforward cases with agreed financial settlements might be resolved within 9-12 months, while complex cases involving Court proceedings can take 18-24 months or longer. Our team works efficiently to progress your case as quickly as possible while ensuring your interests are protected.
Can we keep our divorce private?
Yes, we understand the importance of privacy in high net worth divorces. While Court proceedings are a matter of public record, we can employ strategies to minimise publicity, including using alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration, which offers greater privacy than Court proceedings.
How are pensions divided in high net worth divorces?
Pension arrangements in high net worth cases often involve complex schemes with substantial values. Options for division include pension sharing orders, pension offsetting, or pension attachment orders. We work with specialist actuaries to ensure accurate pension valuations and to identify the most advantageous approach for your circumstances.
