What Happens to My Business During a Divorce?

Unlike child support, property division is not based on a mathematical formula. Instead, many factors can come into play when determining how to handle your business assets and liabilities as part of your divorce. As a starting point, we can consult business valuation experts to understand the value of your family business, closely held business or professional practice. Several factors will be taken into account, including:
- Growth opportunities within your industry
- Value of your proprietary information
- Economic factors
- History and type of business you own
Once we understand the value of your business, this may inform the deal you may want to strike with your spouse. You may choose to sell the business and divide the proceeds between you two. In other cases, we have negotiated an arrangement to buy out the other spouse or continue operating the business together.
We can also consult forensic accountants to understand how your business property was handled during your marriage. Property division can be highly complicated when a business is involved. We have the skills, experience and legal resources to guide you through the process of protecting your financial interests.
