High Earning Professionals in New York
High-Earning Professionals & C-Suite Executives in New York
Success creates complexity.
If you earn over $200,000 per year, hold equity, bonuses, deferred compensation, or leadership authority, your family law matter is not simple. It involves assets, reputation, confidentiality, and long-term financial strategy.
At ASJ Law Office, we represent executives, founders, partners, physicians, attorneys, finance professionals, and senior leaders who require precise, strategic legal guidance.
We do not approach your matter emotionally.
We approach it structurally.
If You Are Getting Married And You Want to Protect What You’ve Built
In New York, absent a prenuptial agreement, marital property laws apply automatically.
For high earners, that may include:
- Annual bonuses
- Restricted stock units (RSUs)
- Stock options
- Deferred compensation
- Pension growth
- Business equity
- Real estate acquired during marriage
A properly structured prenuptial agreement can:
- Define separate property clearly
- Protect future earnings and appreciation
- Address executive compensation structures
- Prevent invasive financial discovery later
- Preserve privacy
This is not about distrust.
It is about clarity.
If You Are Already Married And Your Income or Assets Have Increased
Many professionals experience significant income growth after marriage.
Promotions. Equity grants. Buy-ins. Partnership tracks.
In New York, increases during marriage may be subject to equitable distribution.
A postnuptial agreement can:
- Clarify compensation structures
- Protect business interests
- Address future inheritance
- Define division terms before conflict arises
- Reduce litigation risk
It is strategic to create structure during stability rather than crisis.
If You Are a High-Earning Parent Facing Custody or Child Support Issues
High income does not automatically mean unlimited support.
In New York, child support under the Child Support Standards Act may extend beyond statutory caps depending on income levels.
We assist with:
- Accurate income calculation
- Treatment of bonuses and variable pay
- Custody structures aligned with executive schedules
- Negotiated parenting plans
- Modifications when compensation changes
Your time is valuable.
Your parenting rights are equally important.
If You Are a Busy Entrepreneur Facing Custody or Child Support Issues
Entrepreneurs face unique custody challenges:
- Flexible but unpredictable schedules
- Travel demands
- Income variability
- Equity-based compensation
- Deferred income
New York child support calculations may not account for these realities without proper presentation.
We assist with:
- Custody agreements that respect your work structure
- Parenting schedules tailored to executive calendars
- Accurate income analysis under the Child Support Standards Act
- Modifications when circumstances change
We focus on solutions that protect your time and your children.
If You Are Managing a Blended Family Or Planning for Long-Term Stability
Executives often face layered family structures:
- Children from prior relationships
- Estate planning concerns
- Stepparent adoption
- Long-term inheritance planning
We provide coordinated legal support to ensure family stability aligns with financial strategy.
