FAQs About High Net Worth Divorce in Washington State

What makes a divorce “high net worth”?

High-net-worth divorces involve substantial assets, business interests, or executive compensation typically qualify.

Business valuation determines ownership division, often requiring legal coordination. Even if you believe your financial portfolio is “cleanly split,” valuation methods and asset classification often require forensic accountant involvement to ensure fair market value and accuracy.

Yes one spouse can hide assets, but we conduct detailed reviews to uncover undervalued or undisclosed assets using expert financial tools.

Yes, in Washington, most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are considered community property and are typically divided equally during divorce. However, high-net-worth divorces often involve disputes over whether certain assets are community or separate property, especially with respect to businesses, inheritances, or property acquired before marriage.

Yes, you can take steps to protect separate property during a divorce. Separate property—such as assets owned before marriage, gifts, or inheritance—can be protected, but must be clearly documented and kept separate from marital assets. Commingling funds can make this more complex, so legal strategy and proper classification are essential.

Washington courts prioritize the best interests of the child in any divorce, not just high-net-worth divorces. While financial resources may influence parenting logistics, custody decisions are generally based on factors like each parent’s involvement, the child’s needs, and stability, not wealth alone.

Yes, higher incomes affect child support amounts. Washington uses a standard formula to calculate child support, but high-income cases may require deviation from standard guidelines. Courts consider the child’s actual needs and lifestyle, which can result in support amounts that reflect a family’s elevated standard of living.

Yes, child custody or support can be modified after a divorce. If there is a substantial change in circumstances (like relocation, a job change, or a shift in parenting time) you can request custody or support modifications through the court. Our attorneys regularly assist clients with post-divorce updates and enforcement actions.

Yes, retirement accounts are considered community property and often divided using QDROs.

We prioritize discretion, use confidentiality agreements, and pursue out-of-court settlements when possible.
