Complex Equalization and Valuation Issues
In what can be a tricky area I will help you divide assets fairly and equitably.
Simplifying the Process
Property division can become particularly complex when a separation involves significant assets. I provide practical, thoughtful legal advice to help clients understand how these assets may be treated and to navigate the valuation and equalization issues that can arise.
This may include inheritances & gifts from family members, trusts, family-owned businesses, professional practices, investments, pensions, real estate, or stock options.
I work with clients to identify and understand the relevant financial issues as they relate to family law. I have access to a network of financial professionals such as chartered business valuators, accountants, tax specialists and real estate appraisers to obtain appropriate valuations or other professional advice where needed.
Income Determination and Business Valuation
Income determination is often the most challenging aspect of child and spousal support. This can be even more so an area of anxiety for self-employed business owners and their spouses.
I work with a network of accountants and chartered business valuators who can assist with fair income determination and business valuations.
