Protecting Your Wealth, Future, and Family
When a divorce involves significant assets, complex finances, or business ownership, every decision can have long-term consequences. At Newberry Law, PLLC, we approach high-asset divorce cases with the financial insight, strategic planning, and discretion these matters require.
Led by Joe Newberry, a Board Certified family law attorney with degrees in Finance and Economics, our firm represents clients in Austin and throughout Central Texas in high-asset and high net worth divorce matters. If you need a trusted Austin divorce lawyer to guide you through complex asset division, we’re here to protect what you’ve built.
What Is a High-Asset Divorce?
A high-asset divorce, sometimes called a high net worth divorce, involves the division of substantial financial holdings, real property, and business interests. These cases often include multiple income streams, complex investment portfolios, or jointly owned companies that must be accurately valued and divided under Texas law.
Newberry Law, PLLC represents business owners, executives, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs in divorces where the financial stakes are high. Whether you’re dividing a company, real estate portfolio, or retirement accounts, our goal is to protect your wealth while pursuing a fair, strategic outcome.
Key Challenges in High-Asset and High Net Worth Divorces
Divorces involving significant wealth often present challenges beyond typical family law disputes, including:
- 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 issues require careful financial analysis, strong negotiation, and a litigation-ready approach when needed. Our team works with experienced professionals to ensure assets are identified, valued accurately, and addressed strategically in settlement discussions or court.

Divorces Involving Businesses or Professional Practices
For business owners and professionals, divorce can impact far more than personal finances. We have extensive experience representing clients in divorces involving:
- Medical, legal, or financial practices
- Family-owned or closely held businesses
- Business valuation disputes
- Partnership and shareholder interests
Our firm works with financial experts, forensic accountants, and appraisers to value businesses accurately, distinguish community and separate interests, and protect your livelihood moving forward.
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 often requires detailed tracing, documentation, and expert support.
We help protect separate property claims while pursuing an equitable division of community property under Texas law.
