Kane County, IL High Asset Divorce Attorneys

Skilled High Net Worth Divorce Lawyers Serving St. Charles, Geneva, and Throughout Northern Illinois

Any divorce has the potential for complexity no matter what tax bracket the parties are in, but those involving spouses in the higher tax brackets are often the most complex. It can be a challenge to divide significant assets when a marriage is dissolved. Consequently, it is essential to hire an attorney who is experienced in handling complex financial matters.

At Shaw Sanders, P.C., we have decades of experience assisting couples with high net worth through the divorce process. We always stand up for our clients' rights, interests, and financial priorities, both in negotiations and litigation. Our firm understands that high asset divorce can come with significant financial stakes for clients, and so, we will handle your case with a careful, diligent approach.

Representing High Asset Divorce Clients in Kane County

Dissolving a marriage can be extremely taxing on your finances. Depending on the circumstances of the marriage, your net worth could take a serious hit when your divorce is finalized. Retaining as many assets as possible is typically a top priority in a high asset divorce, and our attorneys have the skill, experience, and commitment to secure the best possible outcome in these matters.

Protecting business interests is extremely important for many of our high asset clients. If you have a professional practice, family business, or other business interests, they may be subject to division in your divorce, particularly if you do not have a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. We have handled countless divorces involving business interests. Our attorneys strive to negotiate agreements that protect our clients' rights while preserving the health and value of the business. Often this involves creative property division strategies in which the value of a business is offset with other marital assets.

Whether we are dealing with business interests or other high value assets such as retirement assets, real estate holdings, or investments, we always make sure that we have accurate financial information. Our attorneys work with a network of appraisers, forensic accountants, and other financial and investigative professionals to obtain a clear and thorough picture of all marital assets including business valuations and pension valuations. By doing so, we can ensure that our clients receive an equitable distribution of assets as directed by Illinois law.

In a high net worth divorce, your marital estate may be spread across various liquid and non-liquid assets. These assets may include:

• Real Estate Properties
• Expensive jewelry or paintings
• Investments
• Retirement accounts

At Shaw Sanders, P.C., we can take measures to help you safeguard your marital property. Before proceeding with negotiation or litigation, we will take the time to make sure we get a full accounting of your marital estate. We can effectively represent you in legal disputes regarding property division as we argue for a settlement or verdict that respects your rights.

Furthermore, if you suspect that your spouse is intentionally wasting your valuable assets, we can help you file a dissipation claim, advocating for your right to compensation.
