Protecting Privacy & Discretion in High-Profile Divorces

Privacy is often the first concern for our high-profile clients. Divorce can attract unwanted attention, and the risk of sensitive information becoming public is real. We work to limit exposure and maintain confidentiality wherever possible by:

• Using secure communication methods for sensitive matters
• Exploring mediation and collaborative divorce to avoid courtroom filings
• Preparing documents carefully to reduce unnecessary public disclosure
• Offering virtual consultations to limit in-person appearances

These safeguards are designed to give clients greater control over what is seen publicly and what remains private.

High Net Worth Divorce Guidance for Celebrity Clients

Celebrity divorces often involve complex financial issues. Earnings may come from multiple sources, including contracts, royalties, investments, or international holdings. Property portfolios and business ownership also add layers of detail that must be managed under California’s community property system.

Our attorneys take a structured approach to these cases. Partner Kristin L. Connor’s additional background as a licensed California Realtor adds valuable perspective to property division, complementing our legal analysis with practical real estate knowledge.

We provide guidance on:

• Evaluating businesses, investments, and creative income streams
• Separating community property from separate property
• Protecting ongoing royalties and contract payments
• Addressing tax consequences tied to spousal support and asset transfers

By addressing each financial detail carefully, we help ensure that agreements reflect a client’s full circumstances and are built to last.

Protecting Your Rights in Complex Jurisdictional Cases

For many celebrities, life is not confined to one city or even one country. Homes, businesses, and travel schedules often span multiple states or nations, creating unique challenges when divorce proceedings begin. Questions about jurisdiction can significantly affect the outcome.

We help clients evaluate the most strategic filing options under California law. Our attorneys guide clients through these rules and explain how jurisdictional choices impact issues such as custody, property division, and support.

International considerations can be especially complex. Parenting plans must account for travel across borders and extended work assignments. Similarly, dividing assets may involve property located overseas, business interests registered in other states, or tax obligations under multiple jurisdictions.

By addressing these questions early, we help clients avoid procedural delays and ensure that agreements are enforceable wherever life and career may take them.

Post-Divorce Enforcement & Modifications

A divorce judgment provides structure, but life rarely stays the same. High-profile individuals often experience career changes, fluctuating income, and evolving family needs. Agreements that once fit well may need to be revisited to remain fair and workable. Our attorneys assist with post-divorce matters such as:

• Custody modifications when a parent’s schedule changes due to touring, filming, or relocation
• Support adjustments when income increases or decreases significantly, or when a child’s needs change
• Enforcement actions to ensure compliance with court orders, including wage garnishment or license suspension where necessary
• Defenses against enforcement when obligations are misapplied or pursued too aggressively

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you approach cases that involve significant brand or image concerns?

We understand that reputation is a key asset for public figures. Our legal strategies are designed to minimize unnecessary publicity by pursuing resolutions outside of trial whenever possible. We also coordinate with your existing advisors, such as public relations or financial professionals, to align the legal process with your broader personal and professional needs.

Do you assist with drafting or reviewing prenuptial agreements?

Yes. We regularly draft, review, and enforce prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for high-profile clients. These agreements are carefully structured to comply with California law.

How do you handle complex asset division such as businesses, royalties, or investments?

Our attorneys work with financial professionals to ensure every asset is properly valued and classified under California’s community property laws. We frequently handle cases involving royalties, stock options, business ownership, and other sophisticated holdings.

Can you help with child custody arrangements when a parent has a demanding travel schedule?

Yes. For clients whose careers require travel, we help create custody schedules that balance professional obligations with the child’s best interests. Parenting plans may include flexible time-sharing, provisions for international travel, and strategies to minimize disruption for children.
