Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
What are the key financial considerations during a high-asset divorce in NC?
High-asset divorces require high attention to detail. In North Carolina, equitable distribution means assets are divided fairly, not always 50/50. But when there are multiple homes, business interests, investment portfolios, or retirement accounts, that fairness can get complicated.
Key financial considerations include:
- Valuation of assets – You may need financial experts to assess businesses, stock options, or real estate.
- Tax consequences – Transfers, sales, and alimony payments can all have tax implications.
- Hidden or commingled assets – Tracing separate vs. marital property can require forensic analysis.
- Spousal support and lifestyle maintenance – Courts will look at standard of living and financial need post-divorce.
A good legal strategy—and often a trusted CPA or financial advisor—can help ensure you get what you’re legally entitled to, without getting buried in paperwork or financial confusion.
