Why are High Net Worth Divorces Different?
High net worth divorces can differ from others in a few significant ways. In certain matters, assets are easy to identify and value. Bank accounts come with statements. Interest or dividend income is reported on personal income tax returns. However, in the high asset and high net worth divorce, assets may come in a variety of employment benefits and other means that are not so easily discernible.
There are times where a tax return cannot tell the whole story and it is up to an attorney with significant experience in business valuations and evaluation of all income sources to uncover and understand both the true value of a business and the total income derived from the business.
When a party is self-employed, income from that party’s business may not always be apparent. In some situations, personal expenses may be paid for through the business, and the business may not be paying the earnings to the business owner, instead, retaining those earnings for future use. We will work hard with a potential forensic accountant to evaluate all options available to our client and uncover all income sources.
When an individual works as an executive at a large company, he or she may also have access to different forms of benefits that are not included in a pay stub. Many executives benefit from alternative forms of compensation. These benefits can consist of stock, stock options, stock units, deferred compensation benefits, restricted stock units (RSU’s), pensions, and other retirement plans. In some situations, executives may be eligible for termination benefits and signing bonuses as well. Occasionally, bonuses or other forms of compensation are not immediately available but become available over a period of years or upon the triggering of certain events. These cases deserve the attention of an experienced law firm like Aronsohn, Weiner, Salerno & Kaufman, P.C. with the resources, knowledge, and necessary acumen to uncover hidden earnings and establish the value of businesses and assets for the spouse we are representing.
