Speak with a New London County business valuation lawyer to learn how to protect yourself and your business assets during divorce.
All financial accounts must be thoroughly examined in a high-asset divorce to ensure that neither party is hiding assets. We work with forensic accountants who can discover any hidden assets and determine whether assets are marital or separate. These financial experts also help us value your business. When we have a complete valuation of your marital business interests, we will begin working on a property settlement agreement.
We have experience with the valuation and division of assets such as:
- Businesses and partnerships
- Privately and publicly held companies
- Professional practices
- Stock options
- Deferred compensation plans
- Retirement plans
Connecticut is an equitable distribution state, which means that the court will distribute marital assets in a way that it considers fair. Property that one party owned prior to the marriage may be a separate asset. However, in some cases, profits from a separate asset that were earned during the marriage may be considered marital property. It is critical that you have an experienced legal and financial team working to protect your interests.
