Contested, Uncontested & High-Asset Divorce

An uncontested divorce proceeds when spouses agree on every issue. A contested divorce involves one or more unresolved matters, such as property division, alimony, child custody, or child support. Those issues may require a negotiated agreement or a court decision.

We handle all types of divorce, including high net worth and high-asset cases. These matters can involve multiple real estate holdings, family-owned businesses, professional practices, complex investments, retirement accounts, pensions, and overseas accounts. Identifying and valuing these interests may require detailed financial analysis.

Professionals who may contribute to a complex divorce include:

• Certified public accountants
• Business valuation professionals
• Real estate and personal property appraisers
• Vocational evaluators
• Psychologists

We connect clients with these professionals as needed to clarify financial, employment, valuation, or child-related questions affecting negotiations or litigation.

Negotiated Resolutions & Litigation

We pursue mediation or a collaborative process when either method fits the circumstances. Reaching an agreement outside the courtroom can give spouses greater control over the terms of their divorce.

If negotiation doesn’t resolve every dispute, we can litigate the remaining issues at a hearing or trial. Our strategy reflects what the spouses have agreed upon, what remains contested, and what information is needed to evaluate each issue.
