COMPLEX AND HIGH NET WORTH DIVORCES- Many divorces involve complex issues including, but not limited to, business evaluations, executive compensation, custody evaluations, high-wage earners, vocational assessments, significant assets which may be subject to equitable distribution, perquisites of employment such as restricted shares or stock options, division of pensions and retirement accounts, and related issues. The issues in each complex case are unique and require an in-depth understanding of how the court will decide these cases and how they can be resolved to avoid the time and expenses associated with litigation. Our attorneys have experience litigating when necessary and settling complex divorce cases in appropriate circumstances.
In those cases involving high net worth or valuable assets, our experience has taught us that privacy matters. Experience and legal skills matter. Complex issues such as business and partnership evaluations, a determination of actual cash flow, executive compensation, trust and estate issues and an analysis of complicated income tax returns require the services of a law firm that recognizes the value of protecting your income and assets. We work with trusted and skilled forensic accountants when these types of issues are present. Forensic accountants are invaluable when there are allegations that the income tax return does not reflect the true income of the parties. With self-employed individuals, putting the right team together is critical to success. Lastly, tax implications of proposed distribution of property and other tax implications need to be considered prior to a resolution to ensure you are protected.
Many cases will benefit from mediation including high net worth and complex divorce matters. At Legband & D’Onofrio we provide skilled and experienced mediation services to address issues related to all divorce matters, including complex matters, separation, custody, support, equitable distribution, alimony, relocation, parenting time, prenuptial agreements, post-divorce issues, and all family-related matters. Our attorneys are trained in mediation and have meditated for over 20 years and are able to guide parties through the mediation process in an effort to resolve all outstanding issues in your case. Mediation typically involves a trained mediator who serves as a neutral. The mediator addresses contested issues and facilitates settlement discussions. Parties in mediation can attend with their attorneys or without their attorneys present.
Our firm assists parties throughout the mediation process, attending the mediation sessions and settlement conferences or work as the neutral mediator in your case. Our years of experience enable us to understand and work with the complexities as well as nuances of your matter.
When a matter is not appropriate for mediation, we provide highly skilled litigators to handle all aspects of a contested divorce or other family matter, guiding our clients through the intricacies of what can seem to be a daunting and overwhelming legal process.
