High Net Worth Divorce

Tampa High Net Worth Divorce Attorney

Protecting Income and Savings for Couples with High Assets

Divorce has different ramifications for couples that own many assets. If you have a high net worth and you want to protect your assets during divorce, contact a Tampa high net worth divorce attorney at Robert Sparks Attorneys. When dissolving a marriage, it is important to act quickly to protect your assets.

Partners in a marriage can work hard on their careers and relationship yet still face a difficult divorce. The time spent securing a top-paying career or building a successful company from the ground up could make divorce negotiations even trickier than expected.

When one partner makes more money than the other, that partner can receive unfair treatment. 
Florida divorce laws work to provide a fair resolution, even when one partner makes more money than the other. You may feel that your elevated salary might leave you with no options in a divorce, but with a skilled lawyer protecting your interests, you don’t have to give up your rights. A high-wage earner may resign to losing well over half of their income and assets. They may fear losing a company they own and watching as their children move far from the Tampa area. These concerns are understandable, but there are state laws protecting their rights. A skilled Tampa divorce attorney can make an impact in the outcome of a divorce agreement.
 
Robert Sparks Tampa Divorce Attorneys is ready to take up this fight and defend the interests of our clients. We understand your concerns and can help high-income earners secure fair divorce agreements.

Protecting Your Assets

You have worked hard for your assets, so it is essential to protect them if you are divorcing from your spouse. We can help you protect assets such as:

  • Retirement funds
  • Pensions and benefits
  • Investments and stocks
  • Salary and savings accounts
  • Inheritance
  • And other sources of capital

Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means that all marital property is divided equitably, not necessarily evenly. We can help you make a case for keeping the assets that rightfully belong to you, so contact us today to learn how we can help you.

Concerns During Tampa Divorces Involving High Income Partners

Those with high-paying jobs and a lot of responsibility on their shoulders can face huge commitments in time and attention. These demands from a challenging profession can get painted in a negative light.

Sometimes, a spouse portrays the dedicated professional as neglectful. This is usually an unfair characterization, that aims to punish you for your hard work.

Unique Concerns for Spouses in High-Income

High-wage earners can’t be blamed for worrying about how they’ll emerge from divorce proceedings. They may have accumulated wealth through hard work and dedication over many years. Some people may not have had this wealth their whole lives. Their wealth may have only materialized as they approached retirement age and prepared for life as a senior citizen.

No matter where they are in life, high-income Florida residents faced with divorce can worry they’ll lose it all. It’s true that when people going through a split don’t have a proper legal ally, the legal team for their partners can get away with unfair treatment and a lot of unreasonable requests.

  • Additional Assets and Investments. The negotiations often become complex and highly contested when savings, investments, and property hang in the balance. You’ll need a skilled attorney at your side through every step to make sure you come out of divorce proceedings with your fair share of your contributions.
  • Business concerns. If you own a company, you shouldn’t have to give up your livelihood or liquidate a business to satisfy the unreasonable demands of a partner. The security of sensitive business details should be protected during divorce negotiations.
  • Debt concerns. High-net-worth spouses can also carry a lot of debt. The other spouse may have accumulated more debt than wealth. Debt should be divided fairly and any Florida judge should get all the facts about how it was acquired.
  • Navigation of Prenuptial Agreements. These types of agreements can be misinterpreted and skewed in one person’s favor. You’ll need a safeguard to make sure the intentions of the document are carried out correctly.
  • Negotiation of reasonable alimony payments for a dependent spouse.

  • Wills and trusts will need to be rewritten.

Divorcing Later in Life?

Couples who divorce later in life or after a lengthy marriage face unique obstacles. These couples have had more time to accumulate marital property and substantial assets, which makes dividing property more complex. High net worth divorce is more common for older couples than younger, but we handle divorce cases for couples of all ages.

Protecting Your Retirement, 401(k), and Savings Funds

One of the most important assets to protect is your retirement/401(k) or any other type of savings fund you have saved aside to retire on. You have worked years to set aside money for your retirement, and property division could put this at risk. Sadly, many people go through divorce and end up with half the retirement they went in with, making it impossible for them to retire comfortably. Don’t let this happen to you.

Tampa Child Support Divorce Lawyers for High-Income Divorces

Divorce is especially tough on the smallest members of a family going through a divorce. If you have children, they will be the most critical factors in your decisions as you navigate a divorce.

A high-earning partner shouldn’t face losing contact with children because they went out into the world every day to provide for the family.

Business professionals shouldn’t worry about spending adequate time with their children. Robert Sparks Attorneys ensures custody or fair visitation rights.

With a high-level income, reaching a consensus on child support amounts is often tricky. Spouses may receive far more than they need to adequately provide for a child. Our Tampa divorce and child custody lawyers ensure a fair agreement to benefit the children.

How Can I Ensure I Remain a Part of My Child’s Life After a High-Net-Worth Divorce?

People with high-level jobs must often work long hours and be away from home for longer than they’d like. This commitment shouldn’t mean they have to forfeit custody of their children simply because they are working so hard to provide for them. Their careers should never decide how much time they are allowed to spend with their children in the aftermath of a divorce.

In a divorce, the wellbeing of children must be put over any financial concerns. Our St. Petersburg Divorce Lawyers secure a fair agreement that works for every member of the family and not just one parent or another.

Partners with high-paying jobs should never have to give up their time spent with their children simply because of their work schedules. Both spouses should remain a part of a child’s life, just as both spouses should be responsible for the financial needs of the child. Our attorneys understand this important balance and make sure our clients have their assets and their time with their loved ones protected.

Your attorney also makes sure that if child support is necessary, it’s assessed fairly and that the needs of the children remain the priority.
