A Tennessee Attorney Specializing in High Net Worth Divorce Cases
Divorce can be a challenging and emotional process for anyone, but when high-value assets are involved, the stakes are even higher.

At the Law Office of Lisa Collins Werner, we bring a personal understanding of high net worth divorces.

This firsthand experience, combined with over 30 years of legal expertise, enables us to effectively serve business owners, corporate executives, doctors, accountants, and many other professionals facing complex financial matters in divorce.
Navigating the Division of High-Value Assets
Tennessee follows an “equitable distribution” model when it comes to dividing assets during divorce. This means that assets must be divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. The division of high-value assets often requires specialized knowledge and precision to ensure a just outcome. Some of the most common high-value assets involved in these divorces include:
- The marital home and secondary residences
- Vacation properties and rental homes
- Vehicles and luxury items
- Closely held businesses and professional practices
- Investment portfolios, stocks, and bonds
- Pensions, 401(k)s, and retirement accounts
- Valuable collections, such as artwork, rare coins, and antiques
In many high net worth cases, it may be necessary to bring in financial experts to appraise assets, particularly when it comes to complex holdings like businesses. Our team collaborates with specialists as needed to accurately value and fairly divide assets, all in accordance with Tennessee law.
