What is high net worth divorce?
High net worth divorce refers to the dissolution of a marriage where the combined assets of the couple are substantial. This type of divorce often involves complex financial matters, including the division of valuable properties, businesses, investments, and significant financial assets. It requires specialised legal expertise to ensure a fair and equitable settlement for both parties involved.
Financial disclosure in high net worth cases
Full financial disclosure is a cornerstone in achieving fair outcomes in high net worth divorce proceedings. In cases involving high-value or complex assets, including trusts, overseas investments, and shareholdings, our team ensures transparency through forensic analysis, expert valuations, and collaboration with financial advisors. We guide clients through Form E disclosure and, where necessary, pursue court orders or injunctions to compel disclosure from the other party. This comprehensive approach allows us to present a complete financial picture to support equitable settlements.
International considerations in high net worth divorce
For clients with global assets or international ties, jurisdictional issues can significantly impact outcomes. The choice of country where divorce proceedings take place may affect division of assets, spousal maintenance, and child arrangements. Our team has substantial experience advising on forum shopping, domicile implications, and working with overseas counsel to coordinate cross-border divorces. Whether assets are held in Europe, the Middle East, or offshore locations, we ensure our clients receive advice aligned with their international exposure and objectives.

Frequently asked questions: High Net Worth Divorce
What qualifies as a high net worth divorce?
A high net worth divorce typically involves significant assets, often exceeding £1 million, and can include overseas properties, business interests, pensions, trusts, and complex investment portfolios. These cases usually require specialist advice to ensure fair division and asset protection.
Can I protect my business during a divorce?
Yes, with appropriate legal advice, it’s possible to structure settlements that allow you to retain control and ownership of your business. This may include business valuations, buy-out agreements, and ongoing income arrangements depending on the financial landscape of both parties.
How are offshore assets and trusts treated in a high net worth divorce?
Offshore assets and trusts are thoroughly scrutinised during disclosure. Courts will look at the beneficial interest and control over these assets. Our experience in tracing offshore accounts and instructing forensic accountants ensures full visibility and equitable outcomes.
Is it possible to keep divorce proceedings private?
Yes, high net worth individuals often seek privacy protections. We can assist in keeping proceedings confidential through out-of-court settlements, arbitration, or private hearings, thereby avoiding unwanted media attention and safeguarding reputations.
What role does lifestyle analysis play in high net worth divorces?
Lifestyle analysis helps determine realistic maintenance expectations, especially when income is irregular or assets are tied to investments or business structures. We work with financial experts to establish a comprehensive picture of lifestyle spending and future needs.
