What counts as a high net worth divorce?
Typically one involving significant assets, often more than £1 million in liquid assets, such as investments, businesses, property and high individual incomes. The more complex those assets are, the more specialist advice matters.
-
How are assets divided?
There’s no fixed formula. The court weighs factors including the length of the marriage, whether assets are matrimonial, each person’s needs and contributions, and any children, so the split can be equal or unequal.
-
Can we settle without going to court?
Often, yes. Many settlements are reached through solicitor negotiation, mediation, collaborative law or Resolution Together. The agreed terms are then submitted to the court as a consent order, which makes them legally binding.
-
How long does a financial settlement take?
It depends on the complexity of the assets and how cooperative both parties are. Cases involving businesses or substantial assets may take 12 to 18 months or longer.
