Florida High Asset and High-Net-Worth Divorce Attorney

When significant assets are on the line, the stakes of a Florida divorce change entirely. Business interests, investment portfolios, real estate, retirement accounts, and professional practices all require a level of attention and expertise that goes well beyond a standard divorce case. 

The difference between a good outcome and a bad one often comes down to how thoroughly the financials are examined and how effectively they’re presented.

At Fairway Law Group, we handle high asset and high net worth divorces across Florida. We work with forensic accountants and financial experts when needed, dig into the details, and fight for an equitable result grounded in what the numbers actually show.

High asset divorces in Florida typically involve three core issues:

• Division of marital assets

• Spousal support and alimony

• Child support

Division of Marital Assets in High Asset Divorces

Florida follows equitable distribution, meaning marital assets are divided fairly but not necessarily equally. In high asset cases, that process is significantly more complex. The court weighs the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, their individual financial needs, and their standard of living going forward.

When significant assets are involved, valuation matters as much as division.

• Businesses need to be appraised
• Investment portfolios need to be analyzed
• Real estate needs to be assessed at fair market value

If your spouse is hiding assets or undervaluing them, your attorney and financial experts will find it.

Spousal Support in High Asset Divorces

Alimony isn’t automatic in Florida, but in high asset cases it’s often a significant part of the conversation. The court considers the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, their standard of living during the marriage, and their financial needs going forward.

Spousal support can take several forms and the amount and duration depend on the specific circumstances of your case. Your attorney’s job is to make sure whatever is awarded reflects what’s actually fair given the full financial picture.

Child Support in High Asset Divorces

Florida calculates child support using a state formula, but in high asset cases the standard formula doesn’t always tell the whole story. Children of high net worth families often have financial needs that go beyond what the formula accounts for.

• Private school tuition
• Extracurricular activities
• Travel and healthcare costs

Your attorney can make the case for support that reflects your children’s actual needs, not just what the formula produces at first glance.
