by | Jun 28, 2018 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce |

If you’re going through a high-asset divorce, you know that there is potentially a lot to gain or lose. While you may be looking forward to getting away from your spouse, one thing you’re likely not looking forward to is the potential for losing many of your assets.

There are tips that can help you avoid a divorce disaster, though, which is great news if you’re worried about your case. Here are two tips to keep you in a better position during your high-asset divorce.

1. Know your assets, so you know what you can protect

The first thing to do is to locate all your assets and your spouse’s assets. Remember, your spouse may have some assets you’re unfamiliar with, which could make it more difficult to negotiate for them. You will need to ask for his or her assets or look them up yourself. To do this, get a copy of your spouse’s credit report and one of your own, too. Look into the bank account and see where the money goes. This can all help you find the assets you have that could be split during your divorce.

2. Focus on your legal rights

You also need to understand your legal rights when you’re going through a divorce. You need to understand that if your divorce goes to court and there is any kind of hearing or trial, that will become public knowledge.
