Any divorce is fraught with stress and anxiety. When businesses, expensive properties, and other high-value items are added to an already tense situation, even amicable divorces can become volatile. Spouses may want to divide their property fairly, but emotions run high during divorces and legal separations.
A Kent high-asset divorce lawyer with Lutz & Associates, P.S. can help you and your spouse divide your property with minimal anxiety. With nearly three decades of experience in resolving divorces, our divorce attorneys focus on helping clients come to a solution that avoids litigation and ends with both parties satisfied with the results.
A high-asset or high-value divorce is one with assets totalling more than one million dollars in value. A high-value asset can be a single expensive property, or a combination of types of assets, including:
Under Washington’s community property rules, marital assets must be divided 50/50 in a divorce or dissolution. Experienced high-value divorce attorneys know that reality is seldom that simple.
Our law firm only practices family law. That means we focus exclusively on the portions of Washington law that affect our clients and their relationships. Whether you have an uncomplicated divorce or one involving several million dollars, we could help you divide your assets fairly. In 2024, there were over 20,000 divorces filed in the state, according to the Washington State Department of Health, and our firm ensures that you are not treated as just a number in these statistics but as a valued client with a future to protect.
When you work with a knowledgeable Kent divorce attorney, we could negotiate with the other party for a reasonable settlement that reflects all your high-value assets. Many high-asset divorces require calculating business values, not just the price of assets and debts, but also goodwill and reputation. If both spouses have been involved in the business, each may have a share of the company’s value. If one spouse has been concealing assets, forensic accounting may be necessary to uncover hidden accounts or property. We know where to look for these elements and how to parse through your documents so your case can be resolved as soon as possible.
Divorce is never a pleasant topic. At Lutz & Associates, P.S., we can make it less painful by helping you keep the conflict to a minimum. As your trusted advisor, our legal team keeps you in the loop throughout the entire process and remain penly communicative every step of the way. If you have questions or concerns, you can contact us at any time, and your team will get back with you right away.
Just as important, our attorneys know Washington divorce laws and are prepared to do whatever is necessary for our clients. If negotiation does not work, we can take your divorce to trial to get the marital settlement agreement that is fair for you. We would love to speak with you, so call our office or contact us online today for a confidential case review and consultation.
