High-asset divorce cases have the potential to develop into complex financial disputes because a marital estate is rarely straightforward when it contains a large portfolio of assets. The assets involved tend to sit within layered structures, international arrangements or business ownership models that require detailed analysis before a fair division can be reached. These cases demand a level of scrutiny far beyond that applied to the standard divorce process.

For fathers who aren’t married, questions about what used to be called child custody can create real anxiety. You might be worried that you’ll lose contact with your child, or unsure about your legal position if your relationship ends. In England and Wales, unmarried parents start from a different position under the law than married parents, but the court does not give automatic preference to either parent based on marital status.
