What is a high-net-worth divorce settlement?
A high-net-worth divorce settlement is one in which the couple has many assets and wealth to divide between them. This may include property, savings, investments and pension funds.
Often, high-net-worth individuals will seek the help of a specialist solicitor to ensure that their interests are protected during the divorce process.
How do high-net-worth divorces differ from regular divorces?
High net worth divorces often involve more complex financial matters than regular divorces. This is because there is typically more wealth and assets to be divided between the couple.
What are common issues in high-net-worth divorces?
Some common problems that arise in high-net-worth divorces include;
1. Property division
When a couple decides to enter a divorce, one of the most complex and important tasks they must undertake is property division. This is especially true for high-net-worth couples, who may have multiple properties and investments.
2. Child arrangements
Child arrangements can be a contentious issue in any divorce, but it is often even more complicated in high-net-worth divorces. This is because there may be more at stake financially, and there may be concerns about the safety and well-being of the children.
3. Pension division
Another complex issue in high-net-worth divorces is the division of any pensions. This is because pensions can be a significant asset, and there are several ways to divide them, i.e. a divorcing couple may decide to split the spouse's pension with the higher net worth.
4. Trusts
Trusts can also be an important issue because trusts are often used to protect assets, and multiple trusts may be involved in a high-net-worth divorce.
What are the benefits of using a high-net-worth solicitor?

In helping couples reach an amicable agreement without going to court, it is crucial to rely on a legal expert with excellent negotiation skills.
3. Knowledge of the law
In cases involving wealth, detailed knowledge of the law is essential
4. Discretion
