As a business owner facing divorce, you have more at stake than just dividing assets—your business, your livelihood, and your future financial security are on the line.
At our law firm, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal services for individuals like you who need a strategic, expert approach to navigating the complexities of a self-employed divorce.
Here’s how we protect your business and ensure a fair resolution that secures your future:
Divorces involving business assets require specialized knowledge. We understand that accurately valuing a business isn’t as simple as looking at tax returns.
It involves detailed financial analysis, considering factors such as your business’s income, assets, liabilities, and growth potential.
In California, courts use the Pereira and Van Camp methods to determine how much of your business is considered marital property. Our expertise ensures that your business is valued correctly, allowing for a fair division of assets
We also recognize the nuances of business ownership. Whether you operate as a sole proprietor, a partner, or within a corporation, we tailor our approach to protect your business structure and prevent any unnecessary disruption to your operation.
Income assessment for self-employed individuals is far more complex than it is for salaried employees.
Courts look beyond your gross income to consider how much money is truly available for support payments after accounting for business expenses, taxes, and allowable deductions.
We work closely with financial experts to ensure that your income is assessed accurately, so you aren’t burdened with unfair spousal or child support obligations.
Additionally, we focus on ensuring that personal expenses are not misclassified as business expenses, which could inflate your income on paper.
We’ll help present a clear and accurate financial picture to the court, so your support payments reflect your true financial situation.
Your business is more than just an asset—it's your life’s work. We develop tailored strategies to protect your business during the divorce process.
This might include negotiating a buyout, structuring settlements that allow you to retain full ownership, or creating agreements that minimize the impact on your business’s cash flow.
Our goal is to help you continue running your business successfully while securing a fair resolution that meets your needs
In many cases, uncovering the full scope of a business’s assets and income requires a thorough discovery process.
We are experienced in using legal tools like subpoenas and forensic accounting to ensure that all financial details are revealed.
Whether your spouse is hiding assets or underreporting income, we’ll uncover the truth to ensure a fair division of assets and accurate support calculations.
This transparency is key to achieving a fair outcome, particularly when complex business finances are involved.
One of the common issues in divorces involving businesses is that both parties may have unrealistic expectations regarding the business’s value.
You might undervalue your business to protect it, while your spouse might overestimate its worth to secure a larger share. We help manage these expectations by relying on professional, third-party valuations.
This ensures that the division of your business is based on its true value, minimizing conflict and helping you move forward.
While we aim to resolve disputes through negotiation, we are always prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
We have a proven track record in both negotiation and litigation, ensuring that your interests are protected no matter where the divorce leads.
Whether it’s negotiating complex settlements involving future business profits or advocating aggressively in court, we are ready to fight for your business and your future
