Businesses Also Undergo Equitable Distribution

Massachusetts law requires that in property division, property, assets and debts are divided equitably. While this does not mean a 50-50 split, it does mean that our divorce attorney can guide you toward a fair distribution of property.

We can develop a strategy to protect your interests in the business. We work with business valuation experts who provide us with accurate business values. When the actual value of the business is determined, we look at your options. Do the assets in the business need to be transferred? Do they involve real or personal property? Are you interested in buying out the other party? Can you settle for a certain percentage of the business? Will the business continue to provide an income stream?

The questions are numerous and can bring about intricate financial situations that need to be addressed by a knowledgeable attorney.
