How can our high net worth divorce solicitors help you?
Our high net worth divorce solicitors help you examine the assets involved and consider how proposed terms would operate after separation. Where valuations or tax advice are needed, we explain the questions those professionals should address. We can help you with:
- Financial disclosure, including examining the ownership of assets and requesting documents needed to understand substantial investments or complicated financial arrangements.
- Business interests, including considering company ownership and the need for an independent valuation before proposals are made about how a settlement might be funded.
- Property portfolios, including assessing available information about ownership and borrowing, so the equity in property is distinguished from its headline market value.
- Pension arrangements, including considering pension sharing and whether advice is needed to compare retirement provision with proposals involving other assets.
- Inherited and premarital wealth, including examining when assets were acquired and how they have been used during the marriage when assessing potential claims.
- Trust interests, including identifying relevant documents and considering whether the nature of your interest requires further advice about the resources available to you.
- Maintenance and cash flow, including considering income needs while the divorce progresses and whether proposed payments can be met without unrealistic assumptions about available funds.
- Settlement negotiations and court orders, including considering appropriate non-court options and drafting terms that address the practical steps needed to implement your agreement.

Frequently asked questions
Can we settle a substantial financial settlement without contested hearings?
Yes, you can resolve disputes involving substantial financial settlements through non-court dispute resolution if both of you provide honest disclosure of your finances and are prepared to work positively toward a resolution. Mediation or private financial dispute resolution may help address remaining disagreements. The process should suit the assets and the disputed questions. Agreed terms should be recorded in an appropriate court order, with advice on their implementation.
Can a prenuptial agreement affect the settlement?
Yes, a prenuptial agreement can significantly influence how your money and assets are divided if you divorce. Under the current law, the court still has the final say and will consider whether you both entered into it freely, understood its implications, and whether following it would be fair in your circumstances. We’ll help you understand what your agreement could mean for you, taking into account your financial needs today and the money, property and other assets available.
Are inherited assets protected from divorce claims?
Inherited assets may be treated as non-matrimonial property, depending on the circumstances. Their source and how they were used during the marriage can affect the assessment. The court can consider non-matrimonial assets where needs require it. You should obtain advice before assuming an inheritance will be excluded from the resources considered in your financial settlement.
Will I have to sell my business?
Selling your business is not an automatic consequence of divorce. The available options depend on its value and the resources available to meet a settlement. A company’s value may differ from the cash you can draw from it. We consider proposals alongside the evidence needed to understand how payments could be funded without assuming a sale.
Is there a different law for high net worth divorce?
No, the same statutory financial remedy law applies regardless of the amount of wealth involved. Substantial resources can make questions about sharing assets more prominent once needs are met. The court still considers all the circumstances under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. The ownership and source of wealth may require closer examination before negotiations can progress.
