Serving You in Complex Asset Division and Spousal Support Matters

Under River Edge, New Jersey law, it is first necessary to categorize property into marital and non-marital before dividing assets between divorcing spouses. Generally, all assets acquired during the marriage are marital, and items obtained beforehand are separate property. The statute on asset division rules require an equitable distribution, which may not be an equal, 50-50 split. In addition, a court will review the appropriateness and amount of spousal support to which one spouse may be entitled. Generally alimony is intended to provide for a lower earning spouse, so that he or she can enjoy the same standard of living as existed during the marriage.

Factors that Impact Asset Division and Alimony in High Net Worth Divorce

There are a number of factors a court reviews when determining equitable asset division and spousal support in any divorce, but the stakes are higher in a high net worth divorce. Though these are separate issues, many of the considerations overlap. They include:

Prenuptial agreements, the validity of which may be a major dispute in a high asset divorce;
Considerations related to each party’s current and future earning capacity, such as age, physical and emotional health, education, experience, and length of time out of the job market;
Factors regarding the marriage, including whether one spouse gave up job opportunities to contribute to the household;
The standard of living and present value of all property, considerations which are hotly disputed in high net worth divorce cases;
Which spouse has custody of minor children, if any; and,
Other factors designated by law.

Note that marital misconduct is generally not a consideration when determining spousal support and asset division; however, a judge may base an order for property or alimony upon one spouse’s actions in wasting marital assets.
