The biggest challenges that I face in dealing with high net worth divorces is locating all of the assets, valuing all of the assets, and making sure that at the end of the day the total value of the pot of assets that the couple has acquired are divided equally, or should I say equitably between the parties.

We don’t say equally because sometimes there’s an ability of one spouse to not have the same kind of capacity to earn as the other spouse so, we like to call it equitable and fair under the circumstances. So that, particularly in a long term marriage where someone has grown accustomed to a lifestyle and has been very much a part of the acquisition of that wealth either through direct or indirect contributions, that they get a fair share of those assets that they are able to move on and continue as much as possible in that lifestyle they had grown accustomed to.
