Where to get started with your High Asset Divorce

Understanding your assets

The first step to dividing your marital assets in a high net worth divorce is understanding exactly what you have and when you got it. There is a difference between marital and separate property, and generally, only assets acquired during the marriage are considered marital property. 

In high net worth divorces, it’s not uncommon for one spouse to attempt to hide assets. Forensic accountants and financial experts may be employed to uncover any hidden wealth, ensuring all assets are accounted for in the divorce proceedings.

Prenups and Marriage Agreements

If you came to the marriage with significant assets, you might have a prenuptial agreement. Prenups play a crucial role in high net worth divorces in Georgia by providing a clear framework for dividing assets and financial responsibilities. These agreements protect your premarital assets and future earnings, potentially reducing the complexities and emotional strain of divorce proceedings.

To ensure your prenuptial agreement is upheld, it must be executed voluntarily, with full asset disclosure, and without coercion. At Barnhart Family Law, we specialize in high net worth divorces and can help protect your interests and financial security during this challenging time.
