Lakewood High-Asset Divorce Attorneys
While significant assets represent success and that means many other struggles are a little easier, it also increases certain challenges, such as divorce. In divorce, wealth can make the asset division process, child support and alimony discussions much more difficult, confusing and disruptive.
At Lanter Legal, LLC, we are Lakewood-based, high-asset divorce attorneys with over 30 years of combined family law experience. A high-asset divorce requires attentive, consistent service from a team of attorneys who can respond quickly to changing situations. But it also requires a depth of knowledge and confidence with complexity that will let you relax during these high stakes times. And that’s exactly what our Northeast Ohio family law firm offer.
How High-Asset Divorces Differ From Other Divorces
While the same basic needs must be decided in both types of divorce, the complications that arise from your wealth change things in unique ways. These complications include:
- Multiple homes or higher worth homes to divide between both parties
- Greater retirement and investment income to divide
- Personal assets such as art or vehicles that must be divided
- Access to trust income or other asset protection vehicles
- Dividing a family business founded during the marriage
- Unique child and spousal support agreements
The access and accumulation of wealth demands specific attention and consideration. Additionally, these conversations have the potential to be high conflict and you need to prepare for them effectively.
How We Prepare Clients For Tense High-Asset Divorce Negotiations
With the potential high financial stakes of your coming divorce, it’s vital that you prepare, and we help you do that. We often give our clients several important pieces of advice that are dependent on their individual situation. But independent of highly specific factors, we would advise our clients to take such actions as:
- Compile all relevant property and financial documentation so we can review it with you.
- Limit any major purchases or financial investments during the time of the divorce
- Refrain from making promises or guesses about how your case will go with anyone, including your ex.
Overall, if you would like to pursue a low conflict divorce, even in a high-assets case, that is possible. It is about keeping your eye on your goals and making smart choices.
