Strategic Counsel for Business Owners in Divorce
In divorce, a lifetime of work can quickly become a contested asset. First and foremost, you must identify whether a business is marital property, separate property, or a combination of both. Some key questions:
- Was the business started during the marriage?
- Did either spouse contribute to the growth in value?
- How should growth or ownership be properly attributed?
Even partial marital interest in a business can trigger major financial implications. We help you understand exposure, protect future earnings, and shield personal equity.
