High-Asset Divorces Are Unique
High-asset divorces differ significantly from typical divorce proceedings due to:
- Property division involving multiple real estate holdings, requiring detailed analysis of separate versus marital property status and accurate, current market valuations
- Business ownership interests that need a professional valuation, including examining corporate structures, partnership agreements and intellectual property
- Investment portfolios containing diverse assets such as stocks, bonds, retirement accounts and offshore investments that require careful tax consideration
- Valuable collections or luxury assets such as art, exotic cars or jewelry that need professional asset appraisal
- Complex compensation structures, including stock options, deferred compensation and executive benefits
The stakes in high-asset divorces are particularly significant. A single oversight in asset identification or valuation can have lasting financial consequences. This is precisely why our strategic legal approach is tailored to your unique circumstances to secure a fair division while protecting your long-term financial stability.

Frequently Asked Questions About High-Asset Divorce
Below are answers to some common questions individuals going through high-asset divorces often have. While these provide general guidance, we recommend discussing your specific situation during your consultation.
What is considered a high-asset divorce in Georgia?
Georgia law doesn’t specify a minimum amount that qualifies as “high asset.” Generally, divorces involving substantial real estate holdings, business interests, investment portfolios exceeding $500,000 or combined marital assets worth over $1 million typically fall into this category. Due to their financial complexity, these cases require in-depth knowledge rather than meeting a specific threshold.
How are assets divided when one spouse was the main income earner and the other spouse was a stay-at-home parent?
Georgia’s equitable distribution approach recognizes that marriages are partnerships. Courts value a stay-at-home parent’s contributions just as they do financial ones. Your role in raising children, managing the household and supporting your spouse’s career matters in asset division. Rather than splitting everything 50/50, judges look at your marriage length, both spouses’ financial situations and each person’s contributions to create a fair division.
How are investment accounts divided when only one spouse worked?
Investment accounts built during your marriage belong to both spouses, even when funded by just one person’s income. We bring in financial experts to properly value these assets. Depending on your situation, we might recommend splitting accounts directly, arranging buyouts or balancing them against other assets. Our team carefully considers tax implications and future growth potential to protect your financial interests.
How does the nonworking spouse maintain a standard of living?
Georgia courts consider the whole picture when determining spousal support. Your established lifestyle, how long you were married, available resources, earning potential and age all factor into it. Many solutions exist, from temporary or permanent alimony to securing income-producing assets or educational support. We focus on creating practical strategies that help you maintain financial stability as you move forward.
