Business Evaluation and Division

First, a business or a practice evaluation by an experienced forensic divorce accountant is required. The selection, introduction, and interaction of the forensic divorce account are one of the most important decisions you can make.

Forensic Divorce Accountant:

Thousands, if not millions of dollars are riding on the outcome of the forensic divorce accounting report.
Do not skip this critical factor.

The future of the business rests on this report. After carefully choosing your divorce attorney, the forensic divorce accountant is the next most important financial decision you make in the divorce process.

These specialized accountants prepare initial community balance sheets. When he/she has the initial community balance sheet drafts, your divorce attorney can then prepare or defend critical (yet sometimes onerous) Discovery demands.

Why a Practice Limited to Family Law & Divorce?:

When asked why they work so hard, most business executives state emphatically, "I'm working for my kids."

This is precisely the reason you should hire an experienced family law firm whose practice is specifically limited to family law. Do not waste time and money with an inexperienced or unknowledgable non-specialized attorney.

As a business executive your personal decisions have a direct effect on your customers, employees, and vendors.

When you make the right decisions in your divorce process, everyone benefits, especially your children and employees.

The Discovery Process
is Critical in Divorce:

Although all parties must disclose all assets during the pending of a dissolution, Discovery specifically targets critical information that is required to provide a fair and equitable division of both assets and debts.

Who gets the Family Residence?

All assets are presumed as community. If the family residence is adjudicated or the parties agree that it is completely community, either spouse may offer to buy the other out, or it may be sold.

If either spouse claims a separate property interest, the burden of proof is on the spouse who makes such claim. The claim for separate property thus becomes an evidentiary process.

This will include tracing and documentary proof. Again, community property balance sheets provides critical analysis by which you can assert your community or separate property claim, and the indispensable substantiation necessary for such a claim.

What about your Separate Property?

After separate property has been adjudicated and awarded it belongs to the spouse who was successful in the characterization of the asset in question. These assets may include:

• Businesses
• Family residences
• Paintings
• Rental properties
• Businesses
• Foreign assets
• Family Trusts
• Inheritances
• Financial accountants
• Future streams of income (royalties, copyrights, dividends, etc.)

• High-earner child support situations
• Personal expenses paid by the imputed income
