While the laws apply the same in high asset cases as they do in cases with little or no assets, high asset cases typically require a better understanding of finance and the review more financial documentation. In addition, if a party doesn’t fully understand what a fair and equitable distribution of the assets and debts would be in their dissolution of marriage, any mistakes will involve significantly higher amounts than in low asset divorces.

We have handled high asset cases including cases involving millions of dollars of assets and incomes in excess of a million dollars. In addition to his law degree (Juris Doctorate), Joel Wilson also has a Master in Business Administration (MBA) which assists in the understanding of complex cases involving high assets.

In many contested cases involving more complex issues regarding the parties assets, expert witnesses, including forensic accountants and business evaluators.

Equitable Distribution of Assets & Liabilities:

Florida law provides for an equitable distribution of the marital assets and liabilities. In distributing the marital assets and liabilities between the parties, the court shall also set apart to each spouse that spouse’s nonmarital assets and liabilities. The court must begin with the premise that the distribution should be equal, unless there is a justification for an unequal distribution based on all relevant factors. See our asset and debt distribution page for more information.
