An Attorney For High Net Worth Divorce Cases
Last updated on July 8, 2024
All divorces have a lot at stake for the participants. Whether it’s child custody matters, spousal support or the division of assets, a lot is riding on the results. These concerns are often amplified for those of high net worth when the number and value of assets are considerable.
At the Law Office of Lisa Collins Werner, we have a personal understanding of high net worth divorces. Our founding attorney developed and sold several businesses before going through a high net worth divorce herself. We have worked with numerous business owners, accountants, corporate executives, doctors, medical and other professionals and many high net worth individuals. We have successfully resolved their cases and effectively handled their complex issues.
Ensuring A Fair Division Of High-Value Assets
Like most other states, Tennessee utilizes the “equitable distribution” model of asset division in divorce. This means that assets must be divided equitably (fairly), which is not always the same as equally. Dividing assets fairly can be especially complex with certain high-value assets, including:
- The marital residence
- Vacation homes and rental properties
- Vehicles
- One or more closely held businesses
- Stocks and investment portfolios
- Pensions, IRAs and 401(k) accounts
- Collections of artwork, rare coins or other collectibles of value
It may be important to retain one or more specialists to ascertain the actual value of certain marital assets, particularly a closely held business. In addition to utilizing more than 30 years of experience, our attorney collaborates with financial professionals whenever necessary to uncover, appraise and divide marital assets equitably according to Tennessee law.
