Keeping the Family Home in a Divorce
One of the most frequently asked questions we get from prospective and current divorce clients is, “How do I keep my family home in the divorce?” Understandably, most people have intense emotional attachments to the family home and the idea of selling your home can be devastating. Sometimes, people want to keep the family home, not for themselves, but because they believe it will be easier on the children if they can stay in the home they are used to.
Negotiating a High-Asset Divorce
In some cases, usually in short-time marriages when couples divorce young, there can be few assets that need to be split up.

However, for high-asset divorces, which are defined as divorces with assets totaling one million dollars or more, it can be difficult to negotiate a separation agreement between the parties. At Egan Law Center, we have extensive experience negotiating high-asset divorces, and some tips to share with those about to embark on this process.
