Proficient At Valuing And Dividing Complex Assets

It is important in these cases to be proactive in protecting your assets and/or establishing the fair value of investments, retirement accounts, 401(k)s, real estate holdings, stock options, and more, which are used to calculate spousal maintenance and/or child support obligations.

Does Self-Employment Affect A High-Asset Divorce?

If a spouse is self-employed or a partner in a business, it may be difficult to determine his or her salary. I review tax returns, bank statements, and other key documents to gain an accurate assessment of total net worth.

If necessary, I use highly regarded forensic accountants, business appraisers, and other specialists to accurately assess the value of a family-owned business, investment property, or other assets. This provides a strong foundation from which to negotiate a settlement or present an argument to the court if a settlement cannot be reached.

Owning a Business in a Divorce

If you and your spouse own a business together, I will explain your options, which include continuing to operate the business together, having one spouse buy out the other spouse’s interest, or selling the business and splitting the profit or sharing the debt.

My thorough knowledge of marital agreements allows me to enforce or contest these agreements in accordance with your best interests.

How Our High-Asset Divorce Attorney Can Help You

We can assist you by:

• Thorough Asset Valuation and Analysis: Accurately valuing and classifying marital and separate property is critical in high-asset divorces. We collaborate with financial experts, including appraisers, forensic accountants, and tax professionals, to ensure all assets are properly evaluated.
• Strategic Property Division: Texas is a community property state, meaning marital property must be divided equitably. This process can be highly contentious in high-asset divorces, as determining what constitutes marital property is often complex. We create tailored strategies to protect your financial priorities while working toward a fair settlement.
• Business Division and Protection: Protecting the value of businesses or holding significant stakes in partnership is paramount for clients who own them. We address the valuation of the business, division of ownership, and tax implications to safeguard your financial future.
• Spousal Support and Maintenance: Spousal support is often a key consideration in high-asset divorces. We analyze income disparity, earning potential, and lifestyle to negotiate or litigate spousal maintenance agreements that reflect your needs and goals.
• Litigation and Negotiation: While we strive to resolve high-asset divorces through negotiation or mediation, some cases require litigation to achieve the best outcome.
• Protecting Your Financial Future: Every decision in a high-asset divorce can impact your financial well-being for years to come. We take a comprehensive approach, considering immediate needs and long-term goals, to develop strategies that protect your financial future.
