Family Matters. Experience Counts.
At Cooper Family Law, we understand that high asset divorces present unique challenges that require meticulous attention and strategic planning. Serving Philadelphia and the surrounding areas, our attorneys are dedicated to guiding clients through the intricacies of divorces involving substantial assets, ensuring that their financial interests are safeguarded throughout the process.
A high-asset divorce typically involves the division of significant financial resources, including but not limited to:
Multiple real estate properties
Business interests and partnerships
Investment portfolios
Retirement accounts and pensions
Trusts and inheritance
Luxury assets such as art collections and vehicles
In Pennsylvania, the equitable distribution principle governs the division of marital property, aiming for a fair, though not necessarily equal, allocation of assets. This process considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and contributions, and the standard of living established during the marriage.
When one or both spouses own a business, determining its value and how it will be divided is crucial. This process often requires collaboration with financial experts to assess the business’s worth accurately and to decide on the most appropriate method of division or compensation.
Dividing substantial assets can have significant tax consequences. It’s essential to understand the potential tax liabilities associated with asset division, alimony, and other financial settlements to make informed decisions that protect your financial future.
Ensuring full financial disclosure is vital in high-asset divorces. Our attorneys work diligently to uncover any hidden assets and to ensure that all financial information is accurately represented, promoting a fair and transparent division process.
Another crucial component of high asset divorce is determining appropriate spousal support, also known as alimony. Under Pennsylvania law, courts may award spousal support, alimony pendente lite (support during litigation), or post-divorce alimony based on a variety of statutory factors. These include the length of the marriage, earning capacities, age, and health of both spouses, and contributions to the household or career sacrifices made during the relationship.
For individuals and families with significant assets, calculating alimony requires a thorough understanding of both the law and the complex nature of high-value income streams. Income derived from dividends, executive compensation packages, and other non-standard sources can complicate these calculations. At Cooper Family Law, we assess each unique financial profile to advocate for fair and reasonable outcomes in spousal support determinations.
Long-term financial security is often a top concern for clients navigating high-asset divorces. Beyond the immediate division of property and support agreements, we help clients develop forward-looking strategies that support post-divorce financial independence. This includes structuring settlements in a tax-efficient manner, considering the impact on estate planning, and working with trusted financial advisors to chart a sustainable path forward.
No two divorces are alike, especially in high-asset cases. At Cooper Family Law, we tailor our legal approach to reflect each client’s priorities, whether that means protecting a family business, securing retirement assets, or preserving a child’s educational trust. Our clients benefit from responsive, detail-oriented service backed by years of experience in complex family law matters.
