Westchester, NY family law attorney Andrea B. Friedman talks about the process for dividing complex assets in a high net-worth divorce. She explains that a high-net-worth divorce is similar in structure to any other divorce, but the complexity of the finances often necessitates the involvement of additional experts. In matrimonial actions involving significant assets, it is common to engage professionals such as CPAs or tax consultants to evaluate the tax implications of transactions arising from the divorce. Business interests or other complex assets often require specialized valuation to determine their true worth, as this cannot be assessed solely from statements or documents. She notes that incorporating financial experts allows both the attorney and the client to fully understand the options available, facilitating either the resolution of specific assets or providing the spouse with a greater understanding and autonomy over their finances—especially in cases where they were less involved in financial matters during the marriage.
