Among the many stressful and time-consuming tasks that must take place at the time of a divorce, a business valuation is one of the most important. If you’re involved in a divorce, or know you will be soon, and either you or your spouse own a business, it’s very important to work with an experienced divorce attorney who understands business valuation.

A business valuation consists of establishing an accurate value of any and all businesses owned or partially owned by either spouse involved in the divorce. Without this valuation, the distribution of the assets of the business can be left up to the courts.

A proper business valuation will be able to show if a business was created before, during or after the marriage, if it should be considered marital property and how it could potentially divided equally. From there, your divorce attorney will be able to discuss options with you including indemnification or lump sum trades.
