High Net Worth Divorce

If you are a high net worth individual in the process of separating from a partner, the divorce process can be extremely complex and stressful. High net worth divorce is a specialist area of the law and Harrogate Family Law have the skills and expertise to help you through this process, so get in touch with our team today.

Understanding high net worth divorce

Any divorce and separation is a time of upset and anxiety, particularly where children are involved but also where a complicated web of assets needs to be shared. Our aim as divorce solicitors is to ensure you get a fair share of the assets from the marriage, and as a high net worth individual this could involve:

Bank accounts
Savings
Property
Offshore accounts and assets
Inheritance
Businesses
Pensions
Trusts
Shares

When adding the welfare of children into this mix, there is a huge amount of detail, procedure and legislation to consider, which requires the dedicated expertise of specialist high net worth solicitors. Call our team here at Harrogate Family Law and we can ease this considerable burden and achieve a good outcome for you at this most emotional and challenging time.

Our objectives as high net worth divorce solicitors

Our first priority is to protect your interests at all times throughout the process, but fundamentally to achieve a good divorce settlement from the proceedings and with a quick and smooth process. Central to all this is the welfare of any children involved in the relationship, and we aim to establish arrangements for them as soon as possible, so that they can be settled and enjoy as little disruption as possible to their normal arrangements and routines.

How we help with child arrangements in a high net worth divorce

Any divorce and separation can be difficult for children to understand and deal with, and when this involves large values and complex assets, the possibility of acrimony and drawn-out discussions increases. Therefore, one of the first issues we help you to agree on involves child arrangements for:

Residency
Schooling
Financial provision
Possible relocation procedures (UK and abroad)
Physical health and mental wellbeing

Our expertise in high net worth divorce cases means we are ideally placed to offer the best advice.
