High Asset Divorce – Round Rock

High-asset divorces can be complex. These cases involve significant assets such as businesses, real estate or investments. With so much at stake, marital property division often becomes contentious. Couples often discover hidden assets or disagree over executive compensation in divorce proceedings.

At Winnie A. Bates, Attorney at Law, our high-asset divorce attorney gives clear, honest advice. With over 25 years of experience, we guide you with care. We stay upfront about what is possible and what is not. We do not sugarcoat the truth and will tell you what you need to hear.

How Are Businesses Divided In A High-Asset Divorce?

Splitting a business in a high-asset divorce needs careful work. Our high-asset divorce attorney teams up with forensic accounting experts for business valuation in divorce. We determine whether both spouses own the business jointly or if one spouse owns it separately. This helps ensure a fair deal.

We look at:

• Closely held corporations
• Partnership interests
• Business goodwill
• Executive compensation packages
• Real estate appraisal and debts

We explain how Texas courts split businesses. Our team handles complex property divisions for all kinds of industries.

Can Prenuptial Agreements Be Challenged?

Yes, you can question a prenup in a high-asset divorce. If it seems unfair or lacks full disclosure, courts may review it. Our high-asset divorce attorney checks if the agreement follows Texas laws.

We review:

• Whether both parties fully disclosed their assets
• Whether both parties signed the agreement voluntarily
• Whether the agreement was fair at the time and remains fair now
• How high spousal maintenance affects financial outcomes
• How the agreement protects separate property

We help you see if a challenge might work.

How Are Retirement Accounts And Investments Divided?

Dividing retirement accounts and investments takes planning. Retirement account division and investment portfolio valuation may need a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) to avoid penalties. Financial planning in divorce helps avoid problems with tax implications.

We help you with:

• IRAs and 401(k)s
• Division of stock options and restricted stock units
• Pensions
• Brokerage accounts
• Post-divorce wealth management plans

Our team works with financial professionals to get fair results.
