Plymouth, MI High-Asset Divorce Attorneys

When a couple with significant assets enters into the divorce process, all of those assets are in play.  Your lifestyle and financial security are at stake, and a “one size fits all” approach that does not specifically account for those assets can jeopardize the success that you have worked so hard to maintain.  When it comes to high-asset divorce cases, it pays to have an attorney who has skill and experience in dealing with these complex, unique cases.  The attorneys at Carlo J. Martina, P.C. in Plymouth, MI have a track record of success in protecting our clients’ assets.

What makes a high-asset divorce different?

All divorce cases involve the division of the parties’ assets and debts.  If one or both of the parties have been financially successful and attained a high net worth, however, this process becomes qualitatively more complex.  It then often includes stocks, trusts, investment properties, commercial real estate, 401(k)’s, IRA’s, and other retirement plans.  Business entities are also often involved, whether they be professional practices, corporations, or partnerships – not to mention valuable items such as jewelry, boats, and works of art.  The division of all of these assets has tax implications, as well, that must be considered in separating the marital estate.  Finally, parties to high-asset divorces have unique privacy concerns that require that the proceedings be handled with discretion.
