Dividing Business Assets During Divorce | Alpharetta GA

Keeping property you came into a marriage with separate from the property you accumulated while married is notoriously difficult. Many people make mistakes and end up mixing the two together. If you happen to be in business with your spouse, it is almost impossible to separate the two.

Understand your role in the business…

Before you can figure out what part of the business is yours, you need to have a clear idea of where you fit into it. Are you one of the following:

Primary shareholder
Owner
Managing member
Partner

Each role will have a different effect on the division of the company assets.

Some assets may have a direct value like a desk, while others have an intangible value like the company’s reputation. These factors make dividing assets more challenging, and then company debts have to be accounted for before the assets are divided.

Division of corporate assets during divorce is best left to experts.

As you can see, there are a lot of factors to account for when trying to distribute business assets equitably, and that’s before you add in personalities and emotional conflict. Once the judge has decided what part of the business is marital property and what is separate property, balance sheets, financial reviews, and profit/loss statements will need to be drawn up. Do yourself a favor and get expert help!

If you are reading this, it's possible you may be seeking guidance in a family matter. Knowing Andee and Amy personally, I've been overwhelmingly impressed not only with their professionalism, but also their insight into the intricacies of family law. Though I haven't been in need of their services on a personal level, I have referred them to friends and acquaintances will full confidence that they are in the best hands, and with little worry that the referral will reflect on me in a negative manner. What impresses me most is their caring attitude, making sure that their clients are in a safe space from day one.

I’m from out of state and needed an attorney in Georgia to help get my kids out of a bad environment. Looking for a great attorney in your hometown is hard enough but looking for one on the internet, out of state, is even harder. I came across the Hastings Shadmehrywebsite and after reading their reviews, I decided to give them a call. I needed to be able to trust an attorney who would not just take my money but someone who would fight for the best interest of my children and Amy did exactly what I was looking for in an attorney. Amy and her team attacked my case from every angle. Amy knows the law and is not afraid to deliberate. Amy is highly respected in her field and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing help with a custody case.
