Sorry for the wall of text. Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

high-asset divorce property division. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

High-asset divorce requires a fundamentally different approach. You need a forensic accountant from day one to trace assets and value complex holdings imo.

Do not sign anything without an attorney who specializes in high-net-worth divorce. The stakes are too high for a generalist.

One piece of general advice: keep every piece of communication in writing. If you have a phone call, follow up with an email summary. Courts love written evidence and hate he-said-she-said disputes.
