HIGH ASSETS MEAN HIGH STAKES IN A SALT LAKE CITY DIVORCE

Dealing with a high asset divorce in Salt Lake City is much more than just looking at the overall financial picture and dividing everything into two parts. Utah law requires an equitable distribution of marital property before a divorce can be finalized. However, this process becomes immensely more difficult when dealing with the complicated financial network often woven during the course of a marriage that involved significant wealth and assets.In order to determine what is “equitable” in these situations, the courts will look at the totality of the couple’s assets first. For high asset divorce cases, this can include:

  • Multiple savings and checking accounts
  • The marital homeSecond and third homes
  • Various real estate holdings
  • Retirement accounts (401ks, IRAs, etc.)
  • Stock options
  • Investment portfolios
  • Businesses and professional practices
  • Taxable brokerage accounts
  • Cryptocurrencies
  • Precious metals
  • Taxes and tax deductions

This is certainly not an all-inclusive list of the type of assets that need to be examined. Also included are any investments or collectibles between the parties, as well as jewelry, vehicles, art collections, etc. The reality is that those with a high net worth and an abundance of assets are much more likely to go through a contested divorce due to the assets involved.
