High asset divorce: does it have to be messy?

On Behalf of | Oct 22, 2018 | Divorce, Uncategorized

You and your spouse are successful… on paper. During your marriage your financials flourished, but your relationship suffered and you found you could no longer be together. Finally, you decide to call it quits, but now that your financial portfolio is a substantial size, how can you navigate this situation?

People expect divorce to be complicated. People with high assets and complex financials may face even more complications, but it does not have to turn into a big mess.

What causes problems?

There are a few common problems people run into when navigating a divorce involving high assets. Avoiding these issues can help you keep your divorce as civil as possible:

  • Hiding assets or not looking for hidden assets
  • Rushing into a settlement
  • Not cooperating during negotiation or refusing to work together
  • Involving emotions in decision making
  • Comparing your divorce to others
  • Not taking time to hire the right attorney

What can you do?

Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to ease the stress and complications of divorce. Staying organized and making a list of all your assets can help you avoid any discrepancies and accusations of hidden assets. Being objective but open to compromise can help you avoid unnecessary emotional decisions and arguments during negotiation. All of these tips can help you avoid a messy situation and get your life back on track.

Divorce is emotional and can be painful, but it does not have to be messy and chaotic. Keep a level-headed mindset and stay rational. Even a divorce with high assets and substantial financials can proceed smoothly.
