From real estate to intangible assets, it is often complicated in a divorce to sort through all the assets that belong to a married couple, determine the value of each, and determine how that asset can be divided.
- Real estate is a factor in nearly all high-asset divorces. How can the primary residence, vacation home, investment property, and other real property be divided? Liquidation is not an option in many cases because of market situations or long-term investment and development.
- When one or both parties own a business, business valuation is the beginning of a process to divide the asset. Is the business valuation fair and realistic in the current market? How do you put a value on goodwill and other intangible assets?
- How can you divide an on-going business? Can the parties continue as co-owners? Should one person buy out the other's interests? Can the buy-out be done over time to prevent harm to the business? Our divorce lawyers have the experience it takes to protect your interests in complex property division negotiations.
- When one of the parties has a minority business interest or when the business is a closely-held company, valuation and division can be complicated by the interests of parties other than the divorcing spouses. Our law firm has dealt with many complex property division issues.
- How can you divide future assets — assets earned during the marriage but not yet realized? Our lawyers can help you do a complete inventory of assets including unvested stock options and pension benefits.
- If you suspect that a spouse has hidden assets, our attorneys will ensure that your interests are protected. We have experience in forensic accounting and in tracing assets.
