Understanding the Divorce Process
As explained by Dan Taylor above, the divorce process can be broken down into five key areas:

Each case is unique, and divorces can quickly become complex. That’s why having an experienced legal team on your side is essential. At Hamer & Taylor, we navigate these complexities with expertise and compassion, ensuring that your interests are protected every step of the way.
What are the biggest challenges in high-net-worth divorces? Let’s take a closer look.
In this video, Anne Hamer discusses the unique challenges of high-net-worth divorce cases, from asset valuation to financial planning. For more details on specific topics, visit our Video Library to explore additional resources.
Biggest Challenges in High-Net-Worth Divorce
High-net-worth divorces present unique and complex challenges that require careful financial analysis and legal strategy. As Anne Hamer explains, two of the biggest issues in these cases are proper asset valuation and determining the financial needs of the lower-earning spouse.
Valuing High-Net-Worth Assets
One of the most critical aspects of a high-net-worth divorce is ensuring that all assets are accurately valued. These cases often involve trusts, family businesses, investment portfolios, real estate holdings, and other complex financial structures. A business started during the marriage, for example, may have significantly increased in value over time, requiring expert valuation to determine how much is considered marital property. Without a clear, fair valuation, one spouse may walk away with far less than they are entitled to.
Determining the Lower-Earning Spouse’s Financial Needs
Another challenge in high-net-worth divorces is establishing an accurate picture of the lower-earning spouse’s financial needs. In many cases, one spouse has been financially supported by the other and may not fully understand their monthly expenses. Unlike individuals who manage day-to-day household expenses, some high-net-worth spouses are accustomed to a luxury lifestyle, multiple homes, private travel, and high-end services without knowing their actual costs. If they have a business manager, it can be helpful in assessing true financial needs. Otherwise, creating a clear picture of post-divorce financial expectations can be a complicated process.
At Hamer & Taylor, we have extensive experience handling high-net-worth divorces, ensuring that assets are valued correctly, financial settlements are fair, and both parties are set up for long-term financial security.
