St. Charles Business Owner Divorce Attorney
Division of Business Property in Missouri
In a divorce, if one or both of the spouses own a business it adds another level of dispute to the proceedings. It is wise to seek the counsel of a skilled and knowledgeable St. Charles business owner divorce lawyer.
At Turken and Porzenski, L.L.C., we understand that there are many issues, pitfalls and exposure inherent in these negotiations. Not having the right attorney with the right experience can end up costing you thousands of dollars which cannot be fixed in a modification. It is important to remember that property or business division in a divorce is final — in other words, once it's done, it's done. That is all the more reason to retain the firm that will get the valuation and division of your business done correctly the first time.
Business Valuation and Division
There are several aspects that must be considered when attempting to divide a business in divorce, including:
- Did you own the business before the marriage? If not, then how was the business ownership acquired?
- Did you acquire the business ownership while married?
- Is the business and other marital assets co-mingled?
As your attorney, we can guide you through these questions and call in the right experts to work on accurately valuing the business. These negotiations can be very complex for either side of the dispute and it is wise to have an experienced lawyer on your side.
