High-Asset Divorce & Parenting Disputes in Miami
A high-net-worth divorce may involve business ownership, professional practices, investment accounts, trusts, executive compensation, real estate, and tax-sensitive property division. We examine the marital estate, address equitable distribution under Florida law, and prepare for disputes over valuation, income, support, and asset characterization.
Christy Hertz has practiced since 1993 and has handled thousands of cases throughout her career. When additional disciplines are needed, we coordinate with accountants, corporate attorneys, wealth managers, psychologists, and clinical, psychiatric, or financial professionals. We also consider how court filings and public records may affect sensitive marital estates, private corporate data, and personal family dynamics.
Parenting & Support Disputes
Contested parenting cases can involve parental responsibility, child custody and time-sharing, relocation, child support, and the child’s best interests. We shape our approach around current orders, safety concerns, family circumstances, and practical parenting needs while preparing for hearings or trial when necessary.
Family Law Services for Individuals & Families
Our family law lawyers handle negotiated and contested proceedings involving connected family, marital, probate, and guardianship issues.
Our services include:
- Divorce: High-net-worth divorce, equitable distribution, alimony, business valuation, and related financial disputes.
- Children and parenting: Child custody and time-sharing, parental responsibility, paternity, relocation, and child support.
- Post-judgment matters: Modification and enforcement of existing family court orders.
- Family protection: Domestic violence matters and related proceedings.
- Marital agreements: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements addressing financial rights and obligations.
- Connected proceedings: Guardianship, probate, and trust litigation arising within the family law context.
Settlement can preserve the parties’ decision-making authority and reduce conflict, but it isn’t appropriate in every case. Our family attorneys prepare with litigation in mind and present contested issues in court when judicial intervention is necessary.

How to Prepare for Your Consultation
A concise chronology can help us identify the immediate legal and practical issues. If available, gather current court orders, marital agreements, information about children, and an overview of major assets, debts, income sources, or business interests. Don’t postpone a consultation simply because every document isn’t available.
Professional referrers can provide a summary of the dispute, the client’s immediate concerns, and the coordinated support under consideration. We can then assess whether the case calls for litigation counsel, neutral mediation, or input from other disciplines.
