Denver High Net Worth Divorce Attorney
Dividing a former married couple’s assets can be contentious, stressful, and painful. Dividing wealth is expected to be done fairly in a divorce in the Denver court system. However, this is not as easy as it sounds. This becomes even more complicated when the former couple has a high net worth.
Although there is no set value set by state law, a divorce is usually considered "high net worth" when the total wealth of a former couple is worth about two million dollars or more. The more affluent the former couple is, the more issues arise in separating wealth.

Why High Net Worth Divorces Need Special Consideration
In a divorce in Colorado, everything you and your ex-spouse have is supposed to be divided in half. Each party should receive 50% of the wealth, including property, houses, jewelry, art, cars, stocks, bonds, membership in exclusive organizations, and business shares. It takes special attention to properly value your assets. You must know how much wealth you and your ex-partner have before it can be split. Even if your ex is acting in good faith, if you do not know how much your net worth is, the wealth may not be divided equally.
When a lot of money is involved, even small percentages of a former couple’s net worth equal a lot of money. Every detail must be paid attention to so you are not taken advantage of or lose out on what is rightfully yours. This will mean the divorce process will take more time than other divorces. Coming to the courts with an experienced divorce attorney can save time and energy in what may already be a lengthy process.
While all assets acquired during a marriage are expected to be split 50/50 under Colorado law, a prenuptial agreement signed before the marriage can add another level of complexity to the divorce. A prenuptial agreement is an agreement that two people had entered into before the marriage, stating terms of dividing wealth and property in the case of divorce. What assets the pre-nuptial pertains to, or even if the agreement is still valid, are all questions that will be put forth during the proceedings.

The Need for A Denver High Net Worth Divorce Attorney
How much is your diamond necklace worth? What is the value of the cars you own? How much is your art collection worth? What is the value of your current home or homes?
These are just a few questions you may have to ask when splitting assets in a high net worth divorce. You will need experienced professionals to value your estate and belongings. If these values remain unclear, you may end up with the short end of the stick. If your ex-spouse is not playing fair, being in the dark about the true worth of your wealth leaves you vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
The bottom line is that you need to attend the Denver court proceedings to determine the exact net worth of your assets so that they can be fairly divided.
