Connecticut High-Net Worth Divorce: An Overview
A high-asset divorce typically involves substantial financial assets, such as real estate, investments, business interests and other valuable properties. This type of divorce differs from other divorces due to the extensive documentation and detailed financial analysis required to facilitate a fair division of shared marital assets.
In Connecticut, a high-asset divorce can often benefit from expert property appraisals, precise valuations of intricate assets and careful consideration of tax implications and future financial security. Our lawyers can help you make certain your share of marital property is secure.
Hidden Assets May Be A Risk
In many high-asset divorces, one spouse may hide assets in an attempt to skew the division of marital property under Connecticut equitable distribution laws. They may try to conceal these assets in various ways, including:
- Undervaluing property: Deliberately stating lower values for properties and businesses
- Asset transfers: Moving ownership of assets to friends or family temporarily
- Fake debt: Inventing debts to reduce apparent wealth
- Concealing cash: Hiding money in safes or other obscure places
- Offshore accounts: Stashing funds in foreign banks and accounts
- Investment diversion: Investing in hard-to-trace items like art or cryptocurrency
Our attorneys can work with forensic accountants and other financial professionals to meticulously uncover and account for all assets.
Other Possible Challenges In A High-Asset Divorce
High-asset divorces can present complications beyond hidden assets. These may include:
- Accurate valuation of business interests
- Division of retirement accounts
- Handling marital agreements
- Determining alimony or child support obligations
Our team is prepared to address these challenges with sensitivity, providing personalized strategies that protect your interests.
