Quote: “One thing that did help it along is that they didn’t jointly own property, according to the documents. They also had separate bank and investment accounts,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“It made the process easy because … each party was awarded the assets in his or her name, including their business interests and intellectual property”  explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm
