What Makes a High-Asset Divorce Different?
High-asset (or high-net-worth) divorces involve the division of substantial and often complex marital estates. These cases require careful analysis, thorough documentation, and an attorney who understands both the legal and financial dimensions of what is at stake.
Common issues in these cases include:
- Multiple Properties – Real estate holdings, including primary residences, vacation properties, and investment properties
- Business Ownership – Ownership interests in closely held businesses, partnerships, or professional practices
- Stocks and Investments – Brokerage accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles
- Retirement Accounts – 401(k)s, IRAs, pension plans, and executive retirement benefits that may require a QDRO for division
- High-Value Personal Assets – Valuable personal property such as jewelry, artwork, and collectibles
- Stock Options and Executive Compensation – Deferred bonuses, RSUs, and other equity compensation from employers
- Trusts and Inherited Assets – Trusts, offshore accounts, and inherited wealth that may require careful classification as marital or separate property

Dividing a complex marital estate requires a strategic approach tailored to your specific situation. Attorney Ruth Robinson brings over 20 years of family law experience to every case, working to ensure that the true value of your marital estate is identified and that your interests are protected throughout the divorce process.
Our Birmingham high-asset divorce attorney can assist you with:
- Asset Identification and Valuation – Identifying and accurately valuing all marital assets and liabilities
- Separate vs. Marital Property – Distinguishing between marital and separate property, including the tracing of inherited or pre-marital assets
- Spousal Support – Addressing alimony considerations, including rehabilitative and long-term support
- Negotiation and Litigation – Using negotiation, mediation, or litigation to reach a resolution that serves your long-term financial goals
Alabama's Equitable Distribution Standard
Alabama is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. Courts consider numerous factors, including each spouse's financial resources, contributions to the marriage, and earning capacity.
In a high-net-worth divorce, this analysis can be highly complex and financially consequential. Having an experienced high-asset divorce attorney in your corner is essential to ensuring the court has a complete and accurate picture of your marital estate.

“She went above and beyond”
Due to a misunderstanding, a warrant was issued in Alabama, even though we live in Virginia and hadn't been to Alabama for many years. We were apprehensive about the possibility of traveling to Alabama during these uncertain times. Luckily, Ms. Robinson was able to quickly and professionally interact with local law enforcement and the district attorney's office to get the case dismissed without us having to be there. Throughout her handling of the case, she went above and beyond to make sure we were aware she was doing everything in her power to assist us. We are deeply appreciative of her and her efforts and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing representation.- Lynn -
“Amazing and highly recommended.”
I contacted Ruth Robinson on a Saturday regarding a warrant that was issued for failure to appear. On Monday, she filed a notice of appearance as my attorney and filed a motion to have the warrant recalled. The court told her they’d recall the warrant and set a new court date. Ruth was very professional, diligent, and went above and beyond for me. She listened to everything I told her, requested me to send her several screenshots and filed the necessary paperwork to get the warrant recalled and a new court date. Amazing and highly recommended if you want or need someone who is passionate about practicing law and treating you like you’re a priority.- Terry -
“I trust her completely and she has always worked hard for me.”

When I found myself facing criminal charges for something that was completely bogus in a corrupt governmental atmosphere, she has worked with me diligently and continues to do so. I trust her completely and she has always worked hard for me. Better than any attorney I could ask for through and through.- Anonymous
