Addressing Complex Divorce Issues

Most divorce cases seem complex to those who are undergoing the end of a marriage they thought would last for the rest of their lives. However, there are some issues that can greatly complicate the divorce process, including:

• Business ownership - If you or your spouse own a business or professional practice, you will need to determine how to divide this valuable asset, and you will need to figure out how to do so in a way that ensures the business can continue operating and generating an income for one or both spouses. You will need to perform a business valuation during the divorce process to establish the monetary value of business interests, and the assistance of financial advisors may be needed to determine how ongoing ownership of the business should be handled. 
• High-value and premarital assets - During the property division process, you may need to address a wide variety of valuable assets, including real estate, investments, vehicles, and valuables such as jewelry, artwork, or collectibles. If either spouse owned significant assets before getting married, these will usually be considered non-marital property. However, it is often a good idea to take steps to protect these assets before or during a marriage to ensure they will not be subject to division.
• High-conflict divorce - If disputes between you and your spouse escalate to the point where they seem impossible to resolve, you may need to take legal action and resolve these issues in court. We can assist in addressing concerns about mental health, substance abuse, parental alienation, or domestic violence or harassment.
• Divorce in or near retirement - As you reach your twilight years, you will need to make sure you will be able to provide for yourself. We can help you determine how your divorce will affect your retirement, including addressing issues such as retirement accounts and pensions, Social Security, Medicare, and spousal maintenance.
