Frequently Asked Questions
How can a high-profile Palm Beach divorce stay private?
Florida court records are generally public. Practical privacy strategies include negotiated settlement rather than litigation, confidentiality clauses, careful drafting of pleadings, and where appropriate, consideration of the collaborative law process — which keeps negotiations out of public court.
Are family foundations and philanthropic vehicles divided in divorce?
Foundations established with marital funds may have a marital component, although the funds in the foundation belong to the foundation, not the spouses. The interaction of philanthropy and marital property is fact-specific and often requires specialized legal and tax counsel.
What about Palm Beach estates with prior generations' wealth?
Inheritance is generally non-marital. Trust distributions during the marriage and assets acquired with inherited funds may have marital components depending on commingling and use. Self-settled trusts and asset-protection planning during the marriage receive close scrutiny.
