Request a ConsultationA standard divorce has the potential to be fairly stressful when it comes to division of property – but things can get infinitely more complicated when one or both parties have a high net worth.

With so many assets and properties potentially involved in a high-asset divorce, each spouse must be thorough and comprehensive in disclosing his or her properties – and then determining the monetary value of each. In such cases, a divorce attorney is vital for the proper, accurate recording of all your assets.
High-asset divorces come with a large laundry list of complicated topics to resolve before coming to an agreement about property division.
In the state of California, any income earned or asset acquired while married falls under community property – meaning that, in the event of divorce, each party receives community property and assets that are equivalent in value.
The tax ramifications are also important to note in a high-asset divorce. The large amount of properties, transfer of ownership, and any capital gains on liquidation of investments can complicate an already complex division process.
In these cases, it’s always recommended to contact the capable attorneys at Schoenberg Family Law Group, P.C. for assistance in proper, reasonable asset division.

D.R.“It has been a real blessing to find this family law group in my life. I was in the middle of a custody battle with my ex wife and had a lawyer who had sided with my ex wife’s lawyer. I was faced with the option of paying to a regular lawyer to do half jobs with no results or to invest a bit more for a top family counselor who understood my situation and at the same time not giving me false hopes."
A.L."I hesitated filing papers for a long time because I was not sure if I could survive a long legal battle. When we were married, my husband worked while I raised the children, two under four years old, and I was afraid I would lose the stability they needed.
