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. For example, a couple who rents an apartment, has already separated their bank accounts, has no children, and has little retirement or investment accounts can usually get a divorce quickly and inexpensively. 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.
