well I mean it really depends so high

net worth divorces are going to be

looking at you know potentially in

excess of 10 million dollars but there’s

a difference between a high net worth

divorce and a complex divorce so you

might have a uh 20 million dollar

divorce but uh there’s no business

there’s only inherited wealth and

there’s a premarital agreement that

governs everything and nobody’s

objecting to it so in that case it may

be a very very simple divorce despite

the fact that there may be a lot of

money at issue you might also have a

five million dollar divorce that is

maybe not you know a high asset divorce

but where you have uh income of eight

hundred thousand dollars a year and you

have a closely held business and you’re

going to have to sort of figure out what

the value of the business is uh

considering you know the income and

where that business is going to go it

becomes more complex if there are no

other assets

um we we don’t want to have divorce be a

complete dismantling of the marital

estate we really want to end up with an

equitable solution where businesses can

continue to operate and people get their

Fair settlement so when we talk about

high asset versus complexity you know

it’s it’s mix and match you can have a

little bit of both I would say a lot of

the cases in Colorado uh that we do you

know are somewhere between 20 million

and 70 million we’ve had much higher

cases uh in the in the high asset

divorce cases but we’ve also had you

know much lower cases with lower dollar

value cases with more complex issues

that we’ve had to parse through
