Divorce Law Services

Dividing property between spouses in high-net-worth divorces requires a strategic approach, accurate valuation, and classification of assets as either separate or community property. We work with expert appraisers and financial professionals to ensure a fair division that protects our client’s interests. Your high-net-worth divorce case is unique, so we tailor our legal strategies to meet your specific needs, providing personalized solutions for complex property divisions, business valuations, or investment property disputes.

This is crucial in Texas, a community property state, where all assets acquired during marriage are presumed to be community property. Our goal is to protect our client’s interests while working through property division. You can rely on our continuous support and clear communication. Our commitment is to provide a seamless and less stressful experience during a challenging time. We understand the need for privacy and confidentiality and include this focus in our strategic approach.

In approaching divorce, you hope to get through the process quickly and avoid appearing in court. Collaborative divorce is an approach that can be used to help people resolve all issues in their divorce in an amicable way. In collaborative divorce, both parties hire a lawyer to advocate for them. These attorneys, with the help of a neutral mental health professional and a neutral financial professional, guide the clients through a respectful problem solving process to reach an agreement that preserves their interests without appearing in court. Divorce is never easy, but you can choose from options like collaborative divorce to ensure the best for everyone in your family.

If you are considering divorce and are over the age of 55, you are not alone — divorce rates have increased recently in this age group. Couples in this age group are entering a different phase of life, often with varying ideas about how to spend their time and money. However, splitting up in your senior years through what’s called a “gray divorce” can bring unique challenges, particularly in asset division, requiring the expertise of a skilled lawyer.

Key concerns in a gray divorce include understanding how retirement benefits are divided, determining which assets belong to whom, assessing continued health insurance coverage post-divorce, and more. With a Duffee + Eitzen attorney by your side, you can rest assured you will receive the strategic insight and comprehensive approach you need, so you can confidently move forward into the next chapter of your life.
