Why Kansas High Asset Divorce Cases Are Immensely Challenging
The same divorce laws apply to all divorce cases, regardless of the amount of assets involved. But high asset divorces can get especially complex because of the amount and types of assets that require valuation and division and due to the following factors:
The Various Laws Applicable to The Divorce Case
Since affluent couples typically amass a range of assets, their divorce cases will involve various laws. Different laws may apply to dividing stock shares, foreign holdings, trusts, charitable interests, numerous properties, art collections, and closely held business interests. These types of assets may be more difficult to define and value. It may be necessary to value assets differently as a result of the various tax consequences and/or restrictions regarding the division of the asset. .
The Inclusion of Third Parties
Affluent families often share generational and joint wealth, which can make a high-asset divorce even more complicated. Further, ownership of certain assets may be more difficult to ascertain as children, siblings, and other family members may have a financial interest in the couple’s assets. Some may even have a valid claim to the divorcing couple’s assets. Having experienced attorneys will ensure that the assets are properly divided taking into account all of these complex scenarios.
Jurisdictional Issues
Affluent couples may have money, investments, land, businesses, and other assets in different states or countries. This means that their assets may be split across multiple jurisdictions. Divorces are usually jurisdiction-specific, and this may complicate matters even further.
