Our experienced family law attorneys understand the unique challenges that high net worth individuals face during divorce. We work closely with each client to safeguard their financial interests, preserve their privacy, and achieve fair and equitable outcomes. Whether you are a business owner, executive, entrepreneur, professional athlete, entertainer, or investor, our team has the knowledge and resources to guide you through this complex legal process.

What a High Net Worth Divorce Lawyer Handles Differently

A high net worth divorce involves marital estates that typically exceed one million dollars in assets. These cases go beyond the typical division of property and often include sophisticated financial structures such as stock options, restricted stock units, pensions, trusts, offshore accounts, multiple real estate properties, family businesses, professional practices, intellectual property, and more.

The process of dividing high-value assets requires a deep understanding of Nevada’s community property laws, tax implications, valuation methods, and the unique dynamics of marital versus separate property. At Ford & Flaxman PLLC, we work with trusted financial experts, forensic accountants, business valuation professionals, and tax advisors to ensure every asset is properly identified, valued, and accounted for.

We understand that in high net worth divorces, it’s not just about dividing assets—it’s about preserving your lifestyle, securing your financial future, and minimizing unnecessary losses. Our attorneys take a strategic approach, analyzing every detail of your estate to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.

 

Protecting Your Privacy

At Ford & Flaxman PLLC, we understand that our high net worth clients value discretion. Divorce can attract unwanted public attention, especially for individuals in the public eye or prominent positions. We take proactive measures to protect your privacy throughout the legal process, including negotiating private settlements, using confidential agreements, and minimizing the public disclosure of sensitive financial information whenever possible.

Tailored Strategies for Complex Divorces

No two divorces are the same, and no two clients have the same goals. Some clients want to prioritize keeping a business intact, while others wish to focus on securing real estate, investments, or retirement assets. At Ford & Flaxman PLLC, we take the time to understand your objectives and craft a personalized legal strategy that aligns with your goals.

We approach negotiations assertively yet collaboratively, seeking to resolve disputes efficiently to avoid costly and protracted litigation. However, when litigation is necessary, we are fully prepared to fight for your interests in court. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and a track record of success in complex family law cases.

Choosing the right high net worth divorce lawyer is crucial when your financial future is at stake. Our team is skilled at handling multimillion-dollar marital estates, valuation disputes, and complex property division.

Common Issues in High Net Worth Divorce Cases

Clients going through a high net worth divorce often face complex legal and financial challenges that require specialized attention. Some of the most common issues we handle include:

  • Business Valuation and Division: If you or your spouse owns a business, determining its value and how it should be divided is critical. We work with valuation experts to protect your ownership interest or ensure a fair distribution.

  • Real Estate Holdings: Many high net worth individuals own multiple properties, including primary residences, vacation homes, rental properties, and international real estate. We help navigate the division, sale, or buyout of real estate assets.

  • Investment Portfolios and Retirement Accounts: Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, cryptocurrency, pensions, 401(k)s, and other retirement assets must be carefully analyzed to determine marital versus separate property.

  • Hidden Assets and Forensic Accounting: In some cases, a spouse may attempt to conceal assets. Our team utilizes forensic accountants to uncover undisclosed income, offshore accounts, or hidden property.

  • Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: If you signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, we review the terms to determine their enforceability and how they impact asset division and spousal support.

  • Spousal Support (Alimony): High-income divorces often result in complex spousal support claims. We advocate for fair alimony arrangements based on accurate financial disclosures and legal guidelines.

  • Tax Considerations: Every financial decision in a high net worth divorce can carry significant tax consequences. We help you minimize tax liabilities and avoid unintended financial burdens.

 

Helping You Avoid Costly Mistakes

Mistakes in a high net worth divorce can be costly and permanent. Poor financial decisions, overlooked assets, or unfavorable settlements can affect your wealth and security for years to come. That’s why working with an experienced high net worth divorce attorney is essential to avoid pitfalls and ensure your rights are fully protected.

We guide you through each step of the process, from discovery and disclosure to valuation, negotiation, and final settlement. With Ford & Flaxman PLLC by your side, you gain peace of mind knowing that your financial interests are in capable hands.
