High net worth divorces tend to have a heightened potential for mistakes on both sides. Clients will often agree to anything just to get out of the marriage. However, agreeing to terms such as maintenance, or division of assets and liabilities just to get away from a person can have devastating effects on you financially. It is important to conduct a thorough analysis before finalizing your divorce.
Some spouses will attempt to hide assets by transferring them to a third party such as a business partner or child from a former marriage. Transfers like these will end up being set aside as fraudulent. Tax considerations are also a critical component of a high net worth divorce.
Revenge is not an appropriate motivation for making sound decisions in an already difficult and emotionally stressful time. While it may feel good initially, in the end, the money you are making the other person spend is your money too.
A good lawyer will fight hard for you, but will not provoke or extend a fight that isn’t in your best interests. Lawyers are your advocates and are hired to represent you zealously to the best of their ability – not to start fights so that they can enrich themselves at your expense. A simple consultation can answer important questions, and is well worth the time compared to what one could lose from making a mistake either through lack of knowledge of the law or through emotional reaction in a time of stress.
