Preserving Assets During A High Net Worth Divorce

High-asset divorce is sometimes called doctor divorce because cases often involve professionals and complex asset pictures. These are marriages with mutually owned businesses, professional partnerships, major inheritances, substantial investment and real property portfolios. Division can't usually be made by cutting an asset down the middle. Astute analysis and valuation is called for, with sophisticated attention to tax complications.
