Strategic Representation for Complex Divorce Cases Involving Significant Assets

Divorce is never easy, but when substantial assets are involved, the stakes—and the complexity—are significantly higher. At Tessmer Law Firm, we provide sophisticated legal representation for individuals navigating high-net-worth divorce in Texas. Whether you’re a business owner, physician, investor, or a spouse of high income, our attorneys are here to protect your financial interests and guide you through this process with discretion and precision.

What Defines a High-Net-Worth Divorce?

A high-net-worth divorce typically involves marital estates exceeding $1 million in combined assets, including:

  • Multiple real estate properties
  • Business ownership or professional practices
  • Investment portfolios and stock options
  • Retirement accounts and pensions
  • Luxury vehicles, art, jewelry, and collectibles
  • Offshore assets or international accounts
  • Complex debts or hidden liabilities

These divorces often require financial experts, forensic accountants, and valuation professionals, all of whom we regularly collaborate with to ensure full asset transparency and fair distribution.

Challenges Unique to High-Asset Divorce Cases

High-asset divorces present legal and financial challenges that go far beyond standard divorce proceedings. Our team is prepared to help you navigate:

  • Asset valuation and division of complex marital estates
  • Protecting business interests and professional practices
  • Tracing and identifying separate property vs. community property
  • Pre- and post-nuptial agreement enforcement
  • Hidden assets or financial misconduct investigations
  • Spousal maintenance (alimony) and lifestyle considerations
  • Tax strategies and planning during divorce


We tailor every case strategy based on your long-term financial goals, privacy concerns, and family dynamics.

Texas Community Property Laws & High-Asset Divorce

Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets acquired during the marriage are subject to a 50/50 split unless otherwise negotiated or ruled by the court. However, fair does not always mean equal—especially in high-net-worth cases.

We work to protect your separate property, assess equitable division strategies, and ensure any division reflects not only the letter of the law, but your future stability.
