What Is a High Net-Worth Divorce?

A high net-worth divorce is a divorce that involves an estate valued at over two million dollars. Though couples with a high net worth must go through the same divorce process as other couples, these cases tend to be more complicated and are often more contentious. Because Texas is a community property state, marital property must be divided equally between both parties. However, determining which property is classified as marital property and that which is separate is rarely easy in high net-worth situations.

Why High Net-Worth Cases Can Take Longer

High net-worth divorce cases tend to take longer to process. This is for a few reasons. Couples with a high net worth often have more shared assets than the average couple, and they often have a more complicated financial situation. They may also have a more complex debt situation. This can make the property division process more difficult to get through.

Examples of assets held by high net-worth couples include:

• Art
• Bank accounts
• Investment portfolios
• Jewelry
• Pensions
• Retirement accounts, including 401ks and IRAs
• Real estate, vacation homes, and investment properties
• Vehicles
• Wine collections and other valuables

Examples of debts held by high net-worth couples include:

• Auto loans
• Credit accounts
• Mortgages
• Personal loans

High net-worth couples may also have to deal with inheritances, business holdings, and extensive separate property holdings acquired before their marriage. It can be very challenging to identify what qualifies as marital property and what is separate property in these cases. Consequently, disentangling finances in a high net-worth divorce can be especially time-consuming.

Finally, high net-worth couples often have prenuptial and/or postnuptial marital agreements that affect how property is divided. While there are situations where having a prenuptial agreement can smooth the divorce process, couples who have been married for years or decades often have extensive holdings outside of those outlined in their marital agreements.
