Protecting Your Wealth, Assets, and Future
At Fletcher & Phillips, we specialize in representing high-net-worth individuals in divorce cases throughout Jacksonville, FL, and the surrounding areas. Divorce is already a complex and emotionally charged process, but when substantial assets, business interests, or high-value property are involved, the stakes are even higher. Our experienced divorce and family law attorneys understand the unique challenges that high-net-worth divorces present and are dedicated to protecting your financial future.
How High-Net-Worth Divorce Differs from a Standard Divorce
While every divorce involves legal and financial considerations, high-net-worth divorces present distinct challenges that require skilled legal representation. Some of the key differences include:
- Complex Asset Division
High-net-worth individuals often have diverse and sophisticated financial portfolios, including:
- Real estate holdings (multiple properties, vacation homes, investment properties)
- Business interests, partnerships, or professional practices
- Stock options, retirement accounts, and executive compensation packages
- Offshore accounts and international assets
- Trusts and inheritance funds
Properly identifying, valuing, and dividing these assets requires expertise in forensic accounting, business valuation, and asset tracing to ensure a fair and equitable distribution.
- Business and Professional Practice Protection
For entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners, a divorce settlement could significantly impact their business operations. Fletcher & Phillips works to protect your interests by:
- Determining whether a business is marital or separate property
- Minimizing disruptions to business operations
- Structuring settlements that preserve business continuity
- Hidden Assets & Forensic Investigation
Unfortunately, some spouses may attempt to conceal assets to gain an unfair advantage. We work with financial experts to uncover undisclosed accounts, offshore holdings, or undervalued properties to ensure full financial transparency in your divorce.
- High-Stakes Alimony & Spousal Support
In high-net-worth divorces, alimony (spousal support) can be a significant point of contention. Florida courts consider factors such as:
- The lifestyle maintained during the marriage
- The earning capacity of both spouses
- Contributions to the marriage, including homemaking or supporting a spouse’s career
We advocate for fair and strategic alimony arrangements, whether you are seeking support or looking to minimize excessive payments.
- Privacy & Confidentiality Concerns
High-profile individuals—executives, athletes, celebrities, and professionals—often seek discreet legal representation to protect their privacy. Our firm offers confidential legal strategies, including prenuptial/postnuptial agreements, private mediation, and sealed court records, to safeguard your personal and financial matters.
- Tax Implications & Financial Planning
A high-net-worth divorce can have significant tax consequences, including capital gains, estate planning adjustments, and division of tax-deferred assets. We collaborate with financial advisors and tax professionals to develop tax-efficient divorce settlements that protect your financial future.
