Divorce between wealthy couples can involve a complex web of assets and millions in annual spending and can resemble a high-stakes corporate liquidation. In Manhattan, couples might not realize their spending tops $1 million a year until they split, said Jacqueline Newman, an attorney with Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein in New York.
