How Property & Assets Are Divided
Since Washington is a community property state, marital property is usually divided equally. However, the court has the power to make an unequal award when equal division would leave one spouse in a precarious financial situation and substantially worse off than the other.
High net worth divorces often involve:
- Extensive real estate holdings
- Bank accounts
- Business interests
- Stocks and retirement accounts
- Other valuable assets
- Tax issues
These divorces often involve complex situations that may require additional litigation. In some cases, business interests, and even the business itself may be community property. In addition, determining the fair market value of assets and business interests in high net worth divorces can be challenging.
We work with experts such as forensic accountants and other professionals to evaluate and appraise business value, business and personal assets, and properly identify the character of property to determine asset value.
