Getting a divorce when you and your partner’s net worth exceeds six figures carries challenges that divorces between couples with more modest shared assets do not. New York is not a community property state for divorce; instead, a judge will determine an equitable division of marital property and debts. Our role, as your Brooklyn, NY high-asset divorce lawyer, is to ensure that your share is as large as possible. We help protect what’s rightfully yours and ensure you’re treated fairly in the process. Call the Law Office of Daniel Clement today for a confidential consultation.
High net worth divorces are those in which the couple’s combined income, assets, and property total over $1 million. The stakes are often higher, there is typically an earning disparity between the two, and, since New York is not a community property state, each spouse has a considerable interest in securing the lion’s share of community property. With stakes this high, you need a fierce legal advocate on your side, someone who will fight hard, won’t back down, and has the resources to determine the full extent of your spouse’s property (including hidden assets) to get you your rightful share.
As your Brooklyn high-asset divorce lawyer, we are only interested in achieving your goals in the divorce. We work for you, putting our resources and legal talent at your disposal to ensure that you have the means for a positive future once the divorce is finalized.
It’s important to know the full extent of your spouse’s assets, debts, and property before signing a final divorce decree. Before we enter into negotiations with your soon-to-be-ex or before mediation, we typically employ the services of a forensic accountant to track down any hidden accounts, property, or debts that you could be liable for. Once we have the full picture of your combined assets and debts, we can begin preparing our case to justify our demands. We drive a hard bargain, working with you beforehand to determine appropriate concessions to ensure you get what matters most to you.
Many times, the outcome of a high-net-worth divorce comes down to the negotiation skills of your legal team. As experienced, trained negotiators, our Brooklyn high asset divorce lawyer is committed to advocating for your best interests in the split, protecting the property you most want to keep, and making strategic concessions to help achieve your goals.
At the Law Office of Daniel Clement, we fiercely advocate for our clients’ interests in every aspect of New York divorce. Fill out our secure online contact form, or call our offices today for a consultation.
Very knowledgeable. Daniel made things much easier in my custody case. He helped me to prepare and with his recommendation we avoided going thru the pain of a trial.
Thanks a lot Daniel!
