Protecting Your Interests When High Assets Are At Stake

What Types Of Assets Do You Need To Divide?

We have a network of financial experts we work with to perform business valuations, real estate appraisals, pension valuations and professional practice valuations. We will carefully value each asset and determine whether each one is marital or separate property.

  • Businesses and professional practices
  • Retirement and pension plans
  • Stock portfolios
  • High-end furnishings
  • Vehicles, boats and aircraft
  • Home and vacation property
  • Investment real estate

When necessary, we can also search for hidden assets and file temporary restraining orders to freeze assets.

Is Spousal Support Involved In Your Case

There are no official caps on spousal maintenance payments in Washington. In high-asset divorces, however, the court may strive to balance the reasonable needs of the spouse receiving payments with the income of the payer.

While not always true, in some high-asset cases, one spouse may not work outside the home. This spouse will need maintenance in some form. Regardless of which side you are on, you need a skilled attorney to protect your rights.
