Experienced Pennsylvania High-asset Divorce Attorneys
When complex financial holdings such as businesses, stock options or sophisticated retirement plans are part of your marital assets, you need a divorce lawyer who understands finance and tax issues. Gentile, Horoho & Avalli, P.C., has extensive experience with high net-worth divorce. In fact, we have handled more divorces involving assets in the tens of millions of dollars than any other law firm in Pittsburgh.
High-asset divorce requires the assistance of various financial experts. The firm has relationships with tax experts, forensic accountants and business valuation experts with whom we have worked for more than 30 years. They are an integral part of the service we provide in these types of cases.
The identity and valuation of assets as marital and the distribution of these assets are clearly some of the most crucial aspects of high net-worth divorces. Working with financial experts, we will inventory all assets and debts in the estate. This process often involves discovering hidden assets.
The next step is the valuation of all personal and real property as well as financial assets. In high-asset divorces, the financial assets usually include sophisticated holdings such as:
- Businesses and partnerships
- Stock options and portfolios
- Benefit plans
- Retirement plans
- Deferred compensation plans
Your attorney must have experience with high-asset divorce to know what issues to look for in these cases.
Spousal support and alimony are also critical issues when the financial stakes are high. In addition to the standard of living during the marriage, you must consider what the reasonable needs of the dependent spouse are. We have experience with complex support and can represent either the spouse seeking or contesting alimony. Our attorneys can present your case based on your standard of living and relevant tax issues.
