What Is a High-Profile Divorce?
A high-profile divorce involves at least one person who has public notoriety or reputation of some kind and believes a divorce would negatively reflect this image. A high-profile person seeking a divorce may choose to hire a smaller law firm that's experienced in such cases to keep their divorce more discreet.
Examples of High-Profile Divorces
- The CEO of a publicly traded company doesn't want their divorce to decrease investors' confidence in the company.
- A professional athlete who didn't sign a prenuptial agreement with their spouse now wants a divorce and to maintain some of their assets.
- A university professor is about to interview for a Department Chair position and is worried that news about their divorce will hurt their chances of getting the job.
- A business owner who is overseeing a big merger between two local firms wants a divorce, so they hire a specialized divorce law firm to keep the divorce tidy while they focus on the merger.
- A politician running for local or state office wants a discreet divorce so as not to impact their campaign.
