High Net-Worth Divorce Attorney in Bakersfield, CA

Legal Representation in Kern County High-Asset Divorces 

High-net-worth divorces involve substantial assets that require sophisticated valuation methods and precise property characterization. These cases often involve business interests, real estate portfolios, stock options, restricted stock units, and significant retirement or investment accounts. Given the financial stakes, these dissolutions often require forensic accountants and business valuation specialists to identify all community property and prevent the concealment or undervaluation of assets.

The Gorski Firm represents clients in high-asset divorce cases within Kern County's agricultural, energy, and business sectors. We coordinate with financial professionals to value complex assets accurately and conduct thorough discovery to protect the integrity of the community estate.

If you are navigating a dissolution involving significant business interests, contact a high-net-worth divorce attorney in Bakersfield, CA at (661) 768-1441 or through our online portal for a strategic evaluation of your business assets.

Business Valuation & Division

Businesses established or developed during a marriage generally constitute community property. An accurate valuation requires a detailed analysis of tangible assets, goodwill, intellectual property, and future earning potential. Standard valuation methods include the asset approach, the income approach, and the market approach, each providing a different perspective on the entity's worth.

When a spouse owned a business before marriage, community labor or funds may have increased its value, requiring complex calculations to determine the community’s interest. 

The Gorski Firm works with qualified professionals to assess business interests and distinguish community property from separate property. Our team also provides the advocacy necessary to challenge inaccurate valuations presented by the opposing party.

Real Estate & Investment Assets in a High-Net-Worth Divorce

Real estate portfolios, particularly agricultural land in Kern County, present unique valuation challenges. Specialized property requires appraisers who understand local land use and income potential. Dividing these assets does not always require a sale; the court may award specific properties to each spouse while offsetting the value with other community assets.

Executive compensation, such as stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) earned during the marriage, is considered community property even if it vests after the date of separation. The community is typically entitled to a portion based on the ratio of service time during the marriage to the total time required for vesting. 

The Gorski Firm identifies these assets, including unvested options and deferred compensation, and works with financial professionals to trace complex investment portfolios.
