Divorce Financial Services

Divorce is a difficult time. Typically, when a small business or professional practice is part of a family's net worth, it can often times be one of the more complex assets to value. There are many reasons for the complexity involved, the most obvious beginning with the differences from state-to-state regarding state statutes and state case law. Other issues may include the appropriate standard of value, marital versus separate assets, personal and enterprise goodwill, potential double-dipping, personal perks, pass-through income, and the tax effects of settlement opinions.
