What does a court consider when deciding division of assets in divorce ?

Even if you are hoping to avoid court proceedings and reach a negotiated settlement, having an understanding of what a court would award is a sensible starting point when dealing with the division of assets in divorce.

A court will consider the available assets, the income of each spouse and the needs of each spouse and any dependants. The court will aim to achieve a division of assets that is fair and that meets the various parties’ reasonable needs.

In high net worth and ultra-high net worth divorce cases, the court will fully consider the standard of living the family has enjoyed. This means it will typically make a much more generous allowance for the needs of the spouses and any children or other dependants than would be the case in a standard divorce.

Exactly what will be considered and what a court might decide are the reasonable needs of the various parties will depend on the circumstances, so it is important to get specialist advice at an early stage.
