NYC family law attorney S. Susan Gross discusses the trends she sees in the area of high net-worth divorce. She points out that every case is unique, and while that may not be the answer some are expecting, it is precisely what makes her work engaging. Even when dealing with the same type of business, each divorce involves two new clients with entirely different lives and sets of issues. She emphasizes that no two cases should be approached in exactly the same way, as doing so risks overlooking critical details.

In terms of trends, she notes that valuation experts have become increasingly sophisticated in their methods for assessing assets. Similarly, lawyers have advanced in their strategies for maximizing asset values and ensuring proper distribution to clients. While she would not call this a trend per se, it reflects a deeper understanding of how various businesses operate in the market and the most effective ways to handle them in a divorce.
