Divorce lawyers for company executives
======================================



As a company executive you will want to protect the assets you have built up during your career. You will also want to protect your future incentives and vesting options. All are vulnerable on divorce.

The English court views marriage as a partnership. It will look to share the wealth accumulated during the marriage equally between parties - including options earned but not yet vested. Property earned or acquired prior to the start of the marriage, or from sources such as inheritance, will be viewed as non-matrimonial and used only in relation to your partner's needs.

Depending on your circumstances, it is also likely that you will have to maintain your spouse from your future income, particularly if they are unable to meet their own financial needs.
