Handling High-Asset and Complex Divorces in Florida

To discuss your rights in a complex divorce case, contact a lawyer at our Tampa or St. Petersburg office today.
Uncovering Assets
In some cases, it may be suspected that one spouse is hiding assets in a separate account. Often these accounts are located offshore or overseas. In order to complete the property division process, these assets must be uncovered. We strive to ensure that our investigations are completed with the help of experts to ensure that anything hidden is uncovered.
Spousal Maintenance
In high-asset divorce cases, spousal maintenance is often a factor. Also referred to as alimony or spousal support, maintenance is the amount of money paid to one spouse by the other in order to maintain the lifestyle to which he or she had grown accustomed to during the marriage. Spousal maintenance can be negotiated during divorce mediation or ordered by the court if the matter is litigated.
Some of the factors considered when determining the amount of spousal maintenance includes:
- Length of the marriage
- Income earning potential of the parties
- Age of the parties
- Health of the parties
- Education of the parties
