Couples of substantial means must deal not only with the emotions associated with the end of a marriage, but also with the added stress that comes from worrying about what will happen to the assets they worked so hard to accumulate. Successfully managing all the variables in a high net worth divorce case requires the attention of an experienced attorney.


I am John Terry Brown a high-asset divorce attorney based in Commerce, Georgia. I provide comprehensive service in complex divorce matters involving large marital estates and have done so since 1992. Serving clients in Gainesville, Athens and throughout northern Georgia, I seek to protect their assets and resolve key issues such as child support and alimony, which present unique problems for parties with significant wealth.


Jackson County Asset Protection and Business Valuation Attorney

Asset protection is a major concern in most high-asset divorce cases. Each party has grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and would like to maintain it after the marriage is over. This goal of lifestyle maintenance can cause serious conflict between the divorcing spouses. One of my strengths as an experienced family law attorney is my ability to manage this tension, shield children from it and work toward a satisfactory solution.


The division of assets and debt in a high net worth divorce tends to be very complex due to the size of the marital estate and the value of the parties' holdings. As your Commerce lawyer, I will enlist the help of accountants, tax specialists, business valuation experts and other professionals, as needed, to ensure your rights are protected with regard to asset and debt division. I consider everything, including:

  • Valuation of businesses and professional practices
  • Appreciation in the value of property
  • Division of pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s and other retirement accounts
  • Qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs)
  • High-income child support and alimony concerns
  • Hidden assets
  • Enforcing or challenging prenuptial agreements


If you have children, you can rest assured that I will work tirelessly to protect their interests and to preserve your relationship with them. A fair division of assets is certainly important, but pales in comparison to the importance of a workable custody and visitation schedule that allows you to have meaningful contact following your divorce.
