Affording Divorce: Why Divorce Can Be Expensive and Complicated For the Wealthy

5 (1 vote)

While divorce isn’t easy for anyone, it can be particularly complex for wealthy families. Dividing more assets means couples face more legal complexities, and sometimes more heartaches. Ownership of family businesses, multiple properties and offshore assets (and the more frequent presence of marriage contracts) means lawyers and financial professionals will have more paperwork to comb through to ensure that all parties—including future heirs—are treated fairly.
