Your Business Could Be A Marital Asset

dividing up real estate during divorce with help of divorce attorneyWhen you enter into a marriage, your assets are combined and become the collective property of both individuals. When the marriage ends, those assets are equitably divided between the two parties as fairly as possible. If you have not signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement protecting the business from divorce proceedings, then your business may be considered a marital asset and as such, subject to division with all other assets.

How You Can Protect Your Business During Divorce

That doesn’t mean that you don’t have options to protect and keep your business. A qualified and experienced Divorce Attorney, like the legal professionals of Davis & Associates, can fully explain the options available to you, and assist you with getting the outcome that you desire.

The Power Of Negotiation

We will then determine what assets you would willingly give to the other party, which assets you desire to keep, and which assets we can use as bargaining chips to help obtain your desired assets. By having a clear plan of attack in mind, we can craft a reasonable offer that allows you to keep the assets that are most important to you.

If your spouse is unwilling to negotiate or compromise, then we will do whatever is necessary to fight for your right to your fair share. By showing willingness to negotiate, you are painting yourself as a reasonable individual which may earn you favor with the courts, if an agreement is unable to be reached otherwise.
