Are you heading for divorce court? Do you own and operate a business that you inherited from your family?
Owning a business in a divorce can cause the case to become far more complex and involved than it might otherwise be. Furthermore, you might get involved in heated litigation that has the potential to drag on for months or years – leaving both of you financially drained and exhausted.
Are you the spouse who inherited or started the business? Are you worried about preserving the fruits of your labor?
Or, are you the spouse who is concerned about walking away from the divorce with your fair share of the other spouse’s business? You believe that even though you didn’t inherit this company, you did make significant contributions to it over the years.
Both of you feel very strongly about protecting your share in the business and want to find a solution to this complex aspect of your divorce.
Divorces involving businesses can often be settled quickly and efficiently through out-of-court negotiations and alternative dispute strategies, such as mediation. If, however, you cannot achieve a settlement out of court, a family law attorney can represent you before the judge to determine who will receive the assets.
Let the Orange County family law offices of Amy M. Montes guide you through this process to safeguard your stake in the business. Contact us today to discuss your concerns and find out more about how we can help you.
