Understanding High Net Worth Divorce
​​
A high net worth divorce typically involves the division of significant financial assets, including real estate, investments, retirement accounts, businesses, and other valuable properties. Given the complexities and potential for disputes in these cases, having an experienced attorney by your side is crucial.​
Approaching High Net Worth Divorce
In-Depth Asset Evaluation & Protection:
At Moisant Law Firm, we understand that no two high net worth divorces are the same, and the stakes are often incredibly high. That’s why we start with a thorough evaluation of all your assets and liabilities. Whether it’s the family home, vacation properties, stock portfolios, businesses, retirement accounts, or valuable collections like jewelry or art, we leave no stone unturned. This also includes identifying any hidden or undervalued assets, ensuring a clear and comprehensive view of your financial landscape. With an experienced attorney by your side, we’ll make sure you are protected and that every asset is accounted for during division.
​
Customized Financial Strategies for Asset Division:
Dividing complex assets requires more than a basic understanding of the law—it demands strategic financial planning. Our firm partners with top financial experts, including forensic accountants, business evaluators, and tax specialists, to craft a plan that preserves your wealth while fulfilling your legal obligations. We pay special attention to high-value assets like business interests, investment properties, retirement accounts, and intellectual property, ensuring that your contributions to the marriage are acknowledged and that your financial future is secure.
​
Negotiation & Mediation:
We know that high net worth divorce cases don’t have to be a battleground. Many can be resolved amicably through negotiation or mediation. Our skilled attorneys work diligently to safeguard your financial interests while minimizing conflict, which can help save you time, money, and emotional stress. Our goal is to negotiate a settlement that benefits you—whether that means keeping a business intact or securing a fair division of investment portfolios.
​
Aggressive Litigation When Necessary:
However, when negotiations fall short or when your financial future is at risk, we’re ready to fight. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who know the ins and outs of Louisiana family law. We’re prepared to go to court to protect your rights, whether it involves business ownership, prenuptial agreements, or valuable international assets. You can trust that we will advocate fiercely on your behalf, ensuring that your interests are fully represented in court.
​
Child Custody with High Net Worth Considerations:
If children are involved, we focus not only on their emotional well-being but also on the financial aspects that impact their future. High net worth divorces often involve complex custody arrangements and financial considerations, such as child support, educational expenses, and trust funds. We work to establish custody and support arrangements that prioritize the children’s needs, while factoring in the realities of maintaining their standard of living.
