Common issues in complex divorce cases
Every divorce is different, but cases involving business ownership, property portfolios, international assets or trusts often raise specific questions. Below are some of the most common issues our solicitors advise on when helping clients navigate complex or high-value financial settlements.

Business assets are often central to complex divorces. Valuation involves assessing ownership, income, and future potential. Expert advice helps ensure the business can continue to operate while achieving a fair outcome.
Can trusts or offshore assets be included in a settlement?
What if a spouse hides assets or fails to disclose information?
How are international assets handled?
What are the tax implications of divorce for wealthy couples?
