Dallas Lawyer Protecting Clients Leaving High-Asset Marriages

While any divorce proceeding in Texas can be difficult, those involving high net worth individuals or high-value assets become exponentially more difficult to resolve in a beneficial way. Because there is so much more at stake, high-value divorce cases require the skill of a legal team experienced in these matters. The team at Clark Law Group has helped clients protect their interests for many years. Get the help of a Dallas high net worth divorce attorney by calling our firm today.

What You Should Know About High Asset Divorces

The main issue in divorces where wealth is shared is how that wealth will be distributed. In Texas, married couples share all property unless stated in a prenuptial or other agreement. With the help of a skilled Dallas high asset divorce lawyer, you can rest assured your assets will be valued and distributed in a way that suits your interests.

It is important that your legal team consider the full spectrum of divisible property, such as:

Businesses
Business-owned property
Offshore accounts
Deferred compensation packages
Profit sharing plans
Retirement plans
Annuities
Investment accounts
Life insurance policies
Pensions
High-value personal property
Club and social organization memberships

It is also important that liabilities such as debts, tax considerations, and upcoming financial obligations are also divided in a way that is fair.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

In cases where the divorcing parties have widely different earning capacities, or where one party entered the marriage with significant wealth-generating premarital assets, it is common to see prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. It is critical to retain counsel with the knowledge and skill to defend your rights and aggressively protect your best interests when claiming protected assets or defending against debt obligations.

High Income Child Support

Children of high net-worth families often enjoy more expensive lifestyles than other kids: private schools, more costly extracurricular activities, regular travel, and more expensive clothes and toys. In many cases, the standard formulas for calculating child support payments will not be sufficient to continue this lifestyle. A custodial parent’s legal team may seek to have the Court set the level of child support above the statutory maximum. These actions are complex and require that the attorney be highly adept in such matters.
