As a highly-experienced divorce attorney, I know that a high-asset divorce brings its own set of complications alongside the emotional strain that any separating couple experiences.

My firm, The Law Office of Richard M. Abdallah, is here to guide you through any conflicts caused by your high-asset divorce. I serve clients in Sacramento, California, as well as Placer County, San Joaquin County, Eldorado County, Yolo County, Solano County, and Alameda County. 

What You Need to Know About a High-Asset Divorce in California 

California high-asset divorces can be very complicated since they often involve a fair division of properties, investments, business interests, and retirement funds.  

Like any other California divorce, they must comply with community property laws, tax considerations, potential hidden assets, and accurate valuations of high-value items.  

As part of the process, assets need to be categorized as separate or community property, and the valuation date for these assets and debts must be determined. These important steps may require a team of specialized professionals like forensic accountants and valuation experts. 

Understanding the Process & Timeline 

The process for divorce starts with filing a petition and undergoing a six-month waiting period before the divorce can be finalized. However, high-asset divorces can take longer because of financial disputes and long, drawn-out legal proceedings.  

If contested and taken to trial, high-asset divorces can sometimes go on for more than a year.  

Using mediation or collaborative law can speed things up by helping you reach agreements outside of court, so you can dodge extensive legal battles. 

No matter how high-stakes or amicable your divorce may be, a seasoned divorce lawyer can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your financial interests.   

There are many other reasons why high-asset divorces can drag on for extended periods of time, including complex asset division, disputes over child custody and support, and disagreements about spousal support. In these types of cases, it's important to have a skilled attorney on your side who understands the nuances of high-asset divorces and can advocate for your best interests.

Divorce is personal, and no two stories are alike—especially when significant assets are at stake.  

Whether it involves business valuations, property division, asset tracing, or complex financial analysis, every detail demands careful consideration.  

I pride myself on delivering individualized attention, with strategies matched with your specific goals and circumstances. My approach ensures that your financial interests, as well as your dignity and confidentiality, are protected.  

I Provide Clear Guidance When You Need It Most 

As you probably know already, the division of highly-valuable assets makes your divorce much more complicated than a conventional divorce. During this crucial period, clear and accessible communication is vital.

Alternative dispute resolutions not only save time and money but also make space for more agreeable outcomes. My commitment to these methods helps maintain peace and respect throughout the legal process.
