Dividing Property Fairly

In New York and New Jersey, high net worth property is divided equitably, not equally. For example, if a spouse invests more time and money into a business, or there are other aggravating circumstances, he or she may be entitled to a higher percentage of the business assets. This, of course, would prevent the other party from receiving a full share.

The Law Offices of Laurence H. Olive represent clients on both sides of the property settlement issue. Attorney Laurence H. Olive is an experienced litigator, and he will work hard to ensure his clients receive a fair distribution of assets.

Identifying and Uncovering Assets

Part of the struggle of ensuring fair distribution in a high net worth divorce is untangling the intricate web of marital versus separate property. Attorney Laurence H. Olive has extensive experience in classifying marital property and in uncovering any hidden assets. He will:

• Work with financial accountants and other experts to ensure all assets are accounted for during the divorce proceedings
• Make sure proper business accounting practices are utilized
• Identify improper claims to premarital assets

If your spouse has transferred assets from a joint to a private account, or is taking other actions that may dilute your assets, Mr. Olive will seek injunctive relief to stop this harm from occurring.
