High-Asset Divorce Representation in Houston & The Woodlands, TX

Protecting Your Legacy. Securing Your Future.

Divorce is always a personal transition, but when significant assets are on the table, it becomes a complex financial and legal maneuver. At Grimes & Fertitta, we provide the sophisticated, discreet, and aggressive representation required to navigate high-net-worth separations.

We don’t just process paperwork; we protect the wealth and reputation you’ve spent a lifetime building.

Why High-End Divorce Demands a Specialized Attorney

In a high-asset divorce, the matter extends far beyond the standard division of property. A general practice attorney may lack the precision needed to handle the assets unique to your lifestyle. You need a specialized legal team to evaluate the following:

Complex Asset Valuation:

From closely-held businesses and professional practices to stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), accurately valuing modern wealth requires a deep understanding of forensic accounting.

Tracing Separate Property:

Texas is a community property state. We work to identify and "trace" your separate property—assets owned before marriage or received via inheritance—ensuring they remain yours.

Tax Strategy & Implications:

The way assets are divided can trigger significant capital gains taxes or penalties. We focus on tax-efficient structures to maximize your net recovery.

Privacy & Reputation Management:

High-profile individuals require a "quiet" resolution. We prioritize private mediation and ironclad confidentiality agreements to keep your personal life out of the public record.

Lifestyle-Specific Custody:

High-end divorces often involve international travel, private school tuition, and unique extracurricular demands. We draft custody agreements that reflect your family's reality.

The Grimes & Fertitta Advantage

At Grimes & Fertitta, we offer a unique blend of “big firm” experience and “boutique firm” attention.

Trial-Ready Expertise Both Richard Grimes and Julian Fertitta began their careers as insurance defense attorneys. This background gives them a distinct advantage in the courtroom: they know how the “other side” thinks and how to dismantle complex arguments. If a fair settlement cannot be reached at the table, we are formidable in front of a judge.

A Personalized, Small-Team Approach At many large firms, high-net-worth clients are handed off to junior associates. At Grimes & Fertitta, you work directly with the partners. You are never “just a case number”—you are a partner in the strategy.

Our Network of Experts We maintain an elite network of forensic accountants, business appraisers, and vocational experts to ensure no asset is hidden and every valuation is defensible.
