Denver High-Net-Worth Divorce Attorney
Legal Representation for Complex Financial Divorces
Dissolving a marriage is never easy. Moving on from a relationship is emotionally challenging enough, but when substantial wealth is involved, the process of dividing assets becomes exponentially more complex, contentious, and stressful. In Colorado, while the law aims for equitable division, achieving true fairness in high-asset cases requires specialized expertise and meticulous attention to detail.
At Johnson Law Group, we serve as your trusted legal partner through every step of your high net worth divorce. Our experienced attorneys combine sophisticated financial acumen with compassionate guidance to protect your assets and secure your financial future.
A divorce is typically considered a high net worth divorce when the total wealth of the couple is approximately two million dollars or more, although there is no set threshold. The more affluent the couple, the more complex issues arise in the separation of wealth and assets.

Overboard: How to Avoid Sinking in Your Colorado Family Law Case
Written by Denver Family Law Attorney Myles S. Johnson
Divorce doesn’t have to be dramatic. For the litigants, losing your spouse is significant enough. But you can choose the way it affects your daily life. The only guarantee I can give is that the feeling that you have right now will not be the feeling you end with. This is a season in your life, and it must be approached that way.
This acclaimed book positions Johnson Law Group as a thought leader in Colorado family law, providing clients with the same proven strategies that have guided hundreds of families through successful outcomes.
Why High Net Worth Divorces Need Special Consideration
In a divorce in Colorado, marital assets are expected to be divided equitably between spouses. This may include property, houses, jewelry, art, cars, stocks, bonds, membership to exclusive organizations, and shares of businesses. However, properly assessing and valuing everything you own requires special attention and expertise to ensure accurate valuations.
You must be fully aware of your complete net worth before assets can be properly divided. Even if your ex-partner is acting in good faith, lacking knowledge of your true net worth can result in an inequitable division of wealth.
When substantial money is involved, even small percentages of a couple’s net worth represent significant sums. Every detail must be carefully examined to ensure you are not taken advantage of or lose what is rightfully yours. This means high net worth divorce proceedings typically take more time than standard divorces. Working with an experienced divorce attorney from the outset will save time and energy in what may already be a lengthy process.
While marital assets are generally expected to be divided equitably under Colorado law, prenuptial agreements can add another layer of complexity to the divorce. A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into before marriage that establishes terms for dividing wealth and property in case of divorce. Questions about which assets the prenuptial agreement covers, or whether the agreement remains valid, will be addressed during the proceedings.
The Question of Alimony
In a high net worth divorce, one spouse may have earned significantly more income or hold more property in their name. This does not diminish your entitlement to an equitable share of marital assets. Furthermore, you may be entitled to receive alimony while the financial situation is resolved. Alimony is financial support that the court may order your ex-spouse to provide during and after the divorce process. The goal is often to help maintain the lifestyle you are accustomed to throughout this transition.
Children in High Net Worth Divorces
Children in high net worth divorces require special consideration. Divorce is challenging enough for children without disrupting their established lifestyle and routines. Maintaining stability during this difficult and often traumatic time is crucial for their mental health and well-being.
Important considerations for children include:
- Education: Ensuring private school or college tuition continues to be paid
- Extracurricular Activities: Maintaining music lessons, sports coaching, and other activities without interruption
- Travel and Social Networks: Preserving established social connections across different cities or internationally
- Childcare Support: Considering the impact on nannies, tutors, and other childcare providers
- Trust Funds: Addressing any existing trust funds, which can significantly complicate asset division
An experienced Denver divorce attorney can help navigate these complex considerations while prioritizing your children’s best interests.

The Importance of Expert Valuation
High net worth divorces require answers to complex valuation questions: What is your art collection worth? How should business interests be valued? What is the current market value of your real estate portfolio? These valuations require specialized expertise to ensure accuracy.
Without proper valuation, you risk receiving less than your fair share of marital assets. If your ex-spouse is not acting in good faith, being uninformed about the true worth of your wealth leaves you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. You need to enter Denver court proceedings with precise knowledge of your net worth to ensure equitable division.
