Protect Yourself In A Divorce With Our Glenview, IL High Net Worth Divorce Lawyer
A divorce between spouses with a combined high net worth (at least $1 million in assets, income, and investments) can quickly get contentious, especially if there isn’t a pre- or post-nuptial agreement. Illinois is not a community property state for divorce, which means that a family law judge will divide debts and assets equitably, not equally. Determining what property counts as community and which remains separate (and debts, too) greatly impacts the divorce settlement and your future prospects. If you have a high individual net worth and you want to preserve it, or if your spouse has a high personal net worth and you’re worried about not getting a fair share of the combined property, you need a strong legal advocate by your side. Our Glenview, IL high net worth divorce lawyer can help protect your interests, advocate for you in mediation and court hearings, and even represent you in conversations with your spouse.
The divorce attorneys at Hurst, Robin, Kay & Allen, LLC, represent your interests and yours alone. Our firm has considerable resources to help you get your fair share of a divorce and ensure you have the means for a bright future. Please call us today to schedule a strategy session.
Protecting Your Fiscal Interests In A Divorce
Even if both spouses have similar earning power, came into the marriage from similar financial places, or have an existing marriage contract (prenup or post-nup), there may still be complications in an Illinois divorce because marital assets and debt aren’t split 50/50. You are entitled to an equitable share of the money, investments, property, real estate, and other assets you and your spouse accumulated during your marriage, and possibly spousal support, too. However, we have seen time and again that our client’s idea of an equitable share of marital assets and their soon-to-be-ex’s idea of an equitable split is often very different. We’re committed to your interests, not your spouse’s, and fight to ensure your divorce settlement aligns with your goals.
We’re meticulous in our investigation, often employing the services of forensic accountants and financial experts to determine the full extent of your spouse’s holdings. We can negotiate a fair settlement out of court with your spouse or advocate for you in mediation. Many of our clients are anxious to avoid the expense, stress, and public exposure of a trial. If we negotiate a settlement out of court, the terms are private. If your case goes to trial, though, all proceedings become a matter of public record. We want to protect your privacy and your finances.
