Protecting Your Wealth, Future, and Family
When your divorce involves significant assets, complex finances, or business ownership, every decision can have lasting consequences. At Newberry Law, PLLC, our team understands that high asset divorces demand more than just legal knowledge — they require financial insight, strategic planning, and discretion.
Led by Austin divorce lawyer Joe Newberry, a board-certified family law attorney with degrees in Finance and Economics, we provide experienced legal representation for clients navigating high asset and high net worth divorces in Austin and throughout Central Texas.
What Is a High Asset Divorce?
A high asset divorce — sometimes referred to as a high net worth divorce — involves the division of substantial financial holdings, properties, and business interests. These cases often include multiple income streams, complex investment portfolios, or jointly owned companies that must be accurately valued and equitably divided.
At Newberry Law, PLLC, we represent business owners, executives, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs facing divorces where the financial stakes are high. Whether you’re dividing a company, real estate portfolio, or extensive retirement accounts, our goal is to protect your wealth while helping you achieve a fair outcome.
Key Challenges in High Asset & High Net Worth Divorces
Divorces involving significant wealth often present unique challenges that go beyond traditional family law disputes. Common factors include:
- Business and professional practice valuations
- Stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and investment accounts
- Real estate and vacation home division
- Hidden or undisclosed assets and offshore accounts
- Tax implications of property settlements
- Division of trusts, inheritances, or family wealth
- Spousal maintenance (alimony) and child support at high income levels
These complexities demand not only an experienced Austin divorce lawyer but one who understands financial documentation, valuation reports, and long-term tax implications.

Divorces Involving Businesses or Professional Practices
For business owners and professionals, a divorce can impact far more than personal finances — it can affect your livelihood. We have extensive experience representing clients whose divorces involve:
- Medical, legal, or financial practices
- Family-owned or closely held businesses
- Business valuation disputes
- Partnership and shareholder interests
Our firm works closely with financial experts, forensic accountants, and appraisers to accurately value your business, determine each spouse’s community and separate interests, and secure your financial stability post-divorce.
Community and Separate Property in Texas
Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets acquired during the marriage are subject to division. However, some property — such as inheritance, gifts, or pre-marital assets — may remain separate. In high asset divorces, identifying and proving separate property can be complex, requiring detailed financial tracing and expert testimony.
Our team ensures that your separate property is protected and your community property is divided equitably under Texas law.
