Valuing Business Assets in Divorce

Upon divorce, all property must be divided equitably between the spouses, including a family-owned business. Whether spouses are joint owners or only one spouse is the owner, all or a portion of the business may be subject to property division. The court takes a number of factors into consideration in determining how a business will be divided after divorce, including:

• Whether or not the business started before or after the marriage.
• The contributions of the non-owner to the success of the business.
• Who bears tax liabilities associated with the business.
• Whether or not one spouse will buy out the other.

Our lawyers work with leading experts in forensic accounting, business valuation and other fields who help us handle complex property division matters for our clients. We will work diligently to ensure that you obtain your fair share of the business assets.
