What Constitutes a High-Net-Worth Divorce?
A high-net-worth divorce generally involves a marital estate with substantial assets, often $1 million or more. More than the dollar amount, these cases are defined by asset complexity, privacy concerns, and the need for careful valuation and documentation.
High-net-worth divorces commonly include:
- Multiple real estate properties (primary homes, vacation homes, investment properties)
- Business ownership or professional practices
- Executive compensation (bonuses, RSUs, stock options, carried interest)
- Retirement accounts and pensions with significant balances
- Trust interests, inheritances, and separate property claims
- Investment portfolios, alternative assets, and cryptocurrency
- Valuable personal property (art, jewelry, collectibles)
- Complex tax issues and cash-flow considerations
Because the financial stakes are high, these divorces typically require deeper financial analysis, formal valuations, and strategic planning to reach a fair division and protect long-term financial stability.
How Washington Law Handles High-Value Asset Division
Washington is a community property state, which means assets acquired during the marriage are generally divided equitably between spouses. In high net worth divorce cases, however, applying this rule is rarely straightforward.
Assets such as businesses, executive compensation, stock options, and real estate portfolios require careful classification, valuation, and timing analysis. Assets may be partly separate and partly community property. Future income, deferred compensation, and appreciation during the marriage can all affect how property is divided.
For Redmond professionals and business owners, mistakes at this stage can have long-term consequences. An improperly valued business, misclassified stock award, or rushed settlement can result in avoidable financial loss years after the divorce is final.
At Northwest Family Law, we take a deliberate, evidence-driven approach. We work with financial professionals when needed, assess both present and future value, and build strategies designed to protect your financial foundation, not just reach a quick resolution.

Led by founding attorney Monica Chin, the firm serves individuals and families across Redmond and the greater Eastside with a client-first approach rooted in strategy, empathy, and accountability.

Protecting Privacy and Confidentiality in High Net Worth Divorce
For many clients, privacy is just as important as financial protection. High net worth divorces can involve public filings, business disclosures, and sensitive personal or financial information that, if mishandled, may affect reputations, professional standing, or ongoing business operations.
In Redmond and the greater Eastside, clients often hold executive roles, ownership interests, or public-facing positions. Divorce proceedings that are not carefully managed can expose compensation structures, business valuations, or personal disputes that should remain confidential.
Protecting privacy requires strategy. This includes controlling the scope of financial discovery, using discreet negotiation when appropriate, and being fully prepared to litigate when privacy or leverage demands it. Every decision must balance transparency with restraint.
At Northwest Family Law, we approach high net worth divorce with discretion at the forefront. We structure cases to limit unnecessary exposure, communicate thoughtfully with opposing counsel, and guide clients through each step with clarity so there are no surprises.
