High-Net-Worth Divorce in Georgia, What You Must Know Before You File

If you’re considering divorce and have significant assets, planning ahead is essential. High-net-worth divorces in Georgia come with unique financial and legal challenges.

The court will identify marital vs. separate property. Marital assets may include homes, investments, retirement accounts, businesses, and valuable personal property like art or collectibles. Even if assets are in one person’s name, they may still be divided.

Spousal support may be higher in these cases, especially if one spouse has been out of the workforce or maintained the home. Courts look at the standard of living during the marriage and each spouse’s future earning capacity.

Privacy is also a concern. Couple seeking a high-asset divorce, often seek to minimize publicity by negotiating settlements outside of court or requesting sealed records.

If you have a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, the court will evaluate its validity and whether it was entered into voluntarily with full financial disclosure.

Valuing complex assets like businesses, intellectual property, or foreign investments requires the help of experienced attorneys and financial professionals.

Before you file, gather documentation, build a team, and understand what is at stake.
