The article discusses the division of assets in high-net-worth divorces, in this case, divvying up a billionaire couple’s real estate portfolio worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Eleanor explains, “In those cases, we’ve always divided up the residences they really care about and gotten rid of the ones they don’t.” She notes that commercial real estate is typically easier to divide, as it’s not as emotionally charged. When it comes to determining custody arrangements and the division of assets, Eleanor says, “If people are reasonable, they can do it.”
AWF Partner, Jenifer J. Foley, was recently featured in Newsweek sharing advice on how to navigate a tough custody case. Jenifer explains, “Most states have a "best interest" analysis for determining custody and laws that confirm it is in a child's best interest to have safe, regular, ongoing contact with both parents (except in extreme cases of abuse). Courts can order forensic evaluations by mental health professionals to determine what is really happening and to seek recommendations.”
