Experienced Upper Middle-Class Divorce Lawyer
Divorce can be a complicated affair, especially when dissolving middle-class and high net worth households. The assistance of counsel is vital in marriage dissolution matters where one or both parties own business interests, stock options or other assets that may require specialized knowledge to accomplish an equitable division of property.
At the Law Offices of Richard D. Goff in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we have the experience to handle high asset and property division cases. We understand the significance of these cases and will work strategically to protect your financial interests now and into the future.
Marital Property Versus Nonmarital Property
Often, the primary issue in high asset divorce is determining what assets will be divided and what assets are considered nonmarital property. Another issue can be verifying the property owned by both parties. Our Minneapolis high asset divorce attorney is experienced in complex business valuations and works with experts to identify hidden assets, when necessary.
The discovery process in these cases can be highly complex so it is important to work with a strategic team that can identify your interests and effectively proceed in obtaining financial documentation and evidence. We are experienced with the division of assets, including:
- Real estate
- Business interests (corporations, partnerships, sole-proprietorships, closely held businesses, etc.)
- Investments
- Retirement accounts: IRAs, pensions, 401(k)s, etc.
- Stock and stock options
- Executive pay and benefits
Uncovering Hidden Assets
In dissolution matters, both parties must fully disclose all property in their possession. It is not uncommon for our firm to have to perform an intensive investigation, working with experts and business valuators to identify the parties' assets to provide for an equitable division of the marital property upon divorce.
If you believe your spouse has hidden or dissipated assets in contemplation of divorce, we will work with you to explore restitution. We are equipped to handle even the most complex cases to protect your financial interests upon divorce.
