Austin, TX family law attorney Kayvon Rashidi shares his approach to handling complex property cases. He notes that complex property cases can involve a high earner, a business owner with one or multiple businesses, or someone with significant inheritance, land, real estate, or other investments.

The first step in a complex property case is identifying all assets, determining their value, and assessing whether they are community or separate property. Once that is established, he works with the client to plan which property they want awarded to them and how to protect their interests, whether the property is separate or not.

Another important consideration is the client’s financial needs—whether they require more liquid cash at the end of the divorce or can manage with long-term assets.
