Meeting the divorce and family law needs of Gainesville, Florida since 1974

Asset division in a divorce where the individuals or couple own inherited property, vacation or investment real estate, international investments, intellectual property, professional practices or family businesses may involve assistance from experts.

Our legal team works in sync with financial and business valuation specialists to resolve any issues that may arise. For example, a forensic accountant may be needed to examine tax returns or business records to ensure that all income has been reported accurately. Appraisers of real estate, jewelry, collections, or other tangible property, or certified public accountants may need to be consulted.

We have access to a network of professionals in these fields. We have the opportunity to work with other attorneys who have experience in complex legal issues. We manage a team of experts to ensure all aspects of the divorce are dealt with appropriately, amicably and that you are in a strong position for negotiation or, if necessary, litigation.

If you executed a prenuptial agreement before your marriage, this can have a major impact on property division. We will scrutinize the document’s terms and enforceability and present legal arguments to protect your rights should the court be asked to set the agreement aside or enforce it.

The importance of tax valuation in high-asset divorce actions

As we work with you to ensure your assets are correctly valued and fairly distributed, we also tax value every asset, which can have a dramatic impact on the ultimate value of any equitable distribution settlement. The allocation of debt can have important consequences and must be done fairly.

We can also assist with related issues, such as providing tax experts to amend prior tax returns when a former spouse is suspected of tax fraud, or challenging a spouse’s personal bankruptcy if it appears to be undertaken to gain advantage during the division of marital assets and debt.
