High Net Worth Divorce Solicitors FAQS
Below, we have answered some frequently asked questions concerning high net worth divorce
-
What is considered a high net worth divorce?
A high net worth divorce typically involves couples with significant assets, often exceeding £1,000,000 in liquid assets. This can include investments, businesses, real estate, and other valuable properties, and high individual incomes.
-
How is property divided in a high net worth divorce?
Property division in a high net worth divorce depends on the circumstances of your individual case and what would be a fair approach, taking into account those circumstances. The Court considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, the matrimonial nature or otherwise of the assets, the needs of the parties and any children, and the contributions of both parties. This can result in an equal or unequal division of assets.
-
What happens to our children during the divorce process?
Arrangements for children, including who they live with and how often they spend time with the other parent need to be dealt with. These arrangements can be agreed upon mutually or, if necessary, through Court intervention to ensure the best interests of the children are prioritised.

Can I get spousal maintenance?
Spousal maintenance may be awarded if one spouse cannot support themselves financially after the divorce. The amount and duration of maintenance depend on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial needs of both parties, and their earning capacities.
-
What is mediation, and how can it help?
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party helps the divorcing couple reach an agreement on various issues, such as property division and child arrangements, without going to Court. It can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve disputes. We recommend using ADR methods, such as collaborative law, mediation or Resolution Together.
