Separating complex financial and ownership structures in divorce for High Net Worth individuals In family law proceedings, disagreements often arise as to whether the assets of a particular Trust are matrimonial and open for division between the parties, or alternatively, whether they are non-matrimonial and should be excluded from the “matrimonial pot”. There can also be disagreements about whether a particular Trust has been made with a proper purpose in mind, or alternatively, as a means of defeating the other spouses’ financial claims. Frequently, the Court can be called upon to determine whether the assets of a particular Trust should be used to meet the needs of the parties, or to accomplish equality. The Court has a duty to carefully consider all available assets and wealth of the parties to make orders that provide for a fair outcome in each case. Effectively, what this means is that when the Court is confronted with a dispute involving a Trust, they often look past the elaborate structures of a Trust and fail to survey the reality of the situation.
