Frequently asked questions: High-net-worth divorce

How are business assets dealt with in a high net worth divorce?

Business assets are carefully evaluated to establish their true value including share capital, profitability and market conditions. It is common to appoint specialist valuers to recommend a fair settlement. This can include division, offsetting against other assets, or selling and dividing proceeds.

Trusts can offer some protection if clearly established and independent. However, courts have the power to investigate and challenge their structure if they suspect they were established purely to shield assets from divorce claims.

Pensions, especially sizable pension funds, require thorough valuation by financial specialists. Options can include pension sharing orders, offsetting pensions against other assets, or deferred lump-sum arrangements.

International assets significantly increase complexity due to differing jurisdictions and legal systems. Specialist legal and financial advice is crucial to effectively manage cross-border tax implications, disclosure requirements and enforceability of orders.

The timeline can vary considerably, often anywhere from several months to well over a year, depending on complexity, level of cooperation, and the necessity for court intervention. Efficient case management and early negotiation can significantly reduce the timeframe.
