Before high net worth individuals start the divorce process, they must understand whether their income is coming into their household from employment or investments. Then, their monthly burn rate must be taken into account. A forensic accountant is sometimes brought in to appraise a business, if a party of a high net worth divorce is a business owner. They will examine the books, general ledgers, and expenses; they may also conduct income stream analysis. When looking for a matrimonial attorney for your high net worth divorce, you should ensure that the person you’re consulting with is going to be part of your case to minimize legal fees. Going into a high net worth divorce is like going for a heart surgery: you don’t have to know how to do the surgery, but you have to know a great heart surgeon. Ideally, your team should consist of a great matrimonial attorney and a great Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.
