Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a high-asset divorce?
A high-asset divorce typically involves $1 million or more in total assets. These cases often include business ownership, executive compensation, investment portfolios, multiple properties, or complex financial instruments that require careful legal and financial planning.
Has Minella Law Group handled high-asset divorce cases before?
Yes. We have represented clients with multimillion-dollar estates, including entrepreneurs, physicians, executives, and real estate investors. We bring decades of combined experience, and a refined legal strategy, to each case we handle.
What makes your firm different from other high-asset divorce attorneys?
Our clients receive direct attention from senior attorneys, not junior associates. We blend white-glove service with aggressive legal advocacy, and our team collaborates with top-tier financial experts to protect your interests from day one.
How are businesses divided in a California divorce?
Business interests are subject to valuation and potential division under community property law. We partner with forensic accountants and business valuation experts to determine the fair value and ownership status of each business asset—whether you’re the owner or the non-titled spouse.
Do you understand how to deal with hidden or complex financial assets?
Yes. We regularly uncover hidden assets, offshore accounts, undisclosed income streams, and commingled funds. Our team is trained to detect financial discrepancies and compel full, accurate disclosure in high-conflict or high-stakes cases.
How is executive compensation handled in divorce?
We understand the intricacies of RSUs, stock options, bonuses, and deferred comp packages. Our firm analyzes grant schedules and employment agreements to ensure proper division of these often-overlooked assets.
Will I have to split everything 50/50?
Not necessarily. While California is a community property state, many assets are partially or entirely separate, such as premarital property, inheritances, or protected trust funds. We aggressively protect your separate property and advocate for a fair—not automatic—division.
What happens to real estate in a high-asset divorce?
Real estate is appraised and may be sold, divided, or awarded to one spouse depending on the circumstances. We evaluate tax consequences, income potential, and market conditions to structure a division that preserves your wealth.
Can you handle international or out-of-state assets?
Yes. We’re experienced with cross-border divorces involving offshore accounts, foreign investments, international real estate, and dual-jurisdiction tax issues.
Can I keep my divorce private?
Absolutely. We prioritize discretion and often resolve high-asset cases through private mediation or confidential settlement agreements. When litigation is required, we work to minimize public exposure and protect your reputation.
Do you work with financial experts?
Yes. We collaborate with forensic accountants, QDRO specialists, CPAs, tax attorneys, and valuation professionals to ensure every financial detail is analyzed, disclosed, and negotiated effectively.
