Preparing for a High Net-Worth Divorce in California

Disclosure is the first substantial step in any divorce process. Each party is required to provide the other with all material facts and information regarding all assets, debts, income, and expenses. 

In a high net worth divorce, the disclosure process can be lengthy and complex. In preparing for a high asset divorce, you may consider reaching out to financial professionals such as business advisors, CPAs, financial advisors, investment teams, real estate professionals, family estate planning attorneys and anyone else who might have pertinent information or documentation regarding your estate. Beginning to gather documents and information will give you a head start and help the divorce process move along more quickly and efficiently.

Unique Issues in High Net-Worth Divorces

The intricacies of a high net-worth estate bring certain challenges to the divorce process. Some unique issues that high net worth couples face during divorce:

  • Tax considerations when transferring assets
  • Family estate planning for the benefit of the children of the marriage
  • Separate property trusts and inheritance rights
  • Premarital agreement disputes
  • Hidden assets or failure to disclose assets
  • Spousal support considering the marital standard of living
  • Forensic accounting to determine complex financial issues such as income available for support or tracing of separate property assets to preserve their separate character
  • Business valuations or other complex valuations

Our team of high asset divorce attorneys work with trusted financial experts to help us accurately value your marital assets and equitably divide them in a way that is fair to both parties.

Aya Lockman

After calling around to several firms, I went with my gut feeling and trusted Cage & Miles with my divorce. I was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism and ability to explain my case to me in a clear and concise manner, taking steps to ensure my complete understanding of the process. They handled my divorce along with what I would have considered complex financial issues surrounding it with ease and certainty. I put my trust in Cage & Miles, was rewarded, and would recommend them to anyone requiring an attorney with expertise in family law. I wouldn't want anyone else representing me in my next divorce, but let's hope it doesn't come to that!

David J

I cannot recommend my attorney Avi Levy enough! I was dealing with a very high conflict divorce with children . He is highly knowledgeable and a skillful negotiator. While he obviously had the final say, he was able to listen to my ideas and viewpoint and work with me to make sure I understood all steps of the process. He is super responsive and dealt with all of my emotional drama and demands. Avi is knowledgeable and able to be firm in his approach but also professional. He is well respected by both his peers and judges alike. Through this long and arduous process he has not only been a trusted advisor but has become a friend as well.

Jennifer Rich

I wanted to hire them but I couldn't because of a conflict of interest but I am well aware of a certain case that one of their lawyers is working on. I am close with her client (hence the conflict of interest). Jillian is an absolute beast and I totally wish I could hire her to take on my case! But she fights for her clients! She does her work and then some! She is on top of everything! She knows what she's doing and she is one of the best lawyers I've ever seen. If you're looking for a Trial/Family Law lawyer, she is the woman for you! She took my "friend's" case on and now his case is literally 180 from what it was before! Trust me, she is worth every penny!

Katey Figueroa

I can not say enough about how helpful and professional both Shannon and Jaime are. They walked me through every step of my case and were always well prepared. They were both available to answer any questions I had during a tough time. Both of these ladies show great professionalism and dedication to their clients and I definitely felt this the whole time working with them. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a Family Law Attorney. Thank you both again!
