Divorce & Dissolution

Guiding you through contested and negotiated resolutions with strategic clarity and financial precision.

Divorce and dissolution require more than ending a marriage. They require careful planning, clear financial analysis, and a steady advocate. We represent clients in contested and negotiated cases, focusing on complex assets, business interests and long‑term financial stability.​

​

Whether you are seeking an amicable resolution or preparing for a contested trial, we bring the experience and judgment necessary to protect your future.

​

Common Issues We Address

• Property Division
  Classifying and valuing marital vs. separate property, including real estate, retirement accounts, executive compensation, and closely held businesses.

• Business Valuation
  Determining the value of privately held companies, professional practices, and family businesses.

• Executive Compensation
  Analyzing bonuses, stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and phantom stock to determine marital value.

• Debt Allocation
  Determining fair allocation of debts, including business loans and tax liabilities.

• Spousal & Child Support
  Integrating support considerations into settlement proposals and trial strategies.

• Tax Consequences
  Evaluating tax implications of property transfers, alimony, and business structures.

• Clients with Complex Finances 
  These matters often include closely held or family businesses, professional practices, executive and incentive-based compensation, multiple real estate interests, and substantial investment or retirement assets. The firm is comfortable working through detailed financial statements, valuation issues, compensation plans, and long-term projections to ensure that decisions are informed and outcomes are sustainable. This work goes beyond dividing assets on paper. Each case is approached with an understanding of how financial decisions intersect with careers, business operations, tax considerations, support obligations, and future flexibility.

​

Our Approach

We begin by gathering a complete financial picture. Working with valuation experts and forensic accountants, we catalogue assets, evaluate income streams, and analyze debt.

We explore creative settlements, including buyouts and structured payments, to preserve family wealth and minimize conflict. When negotiation fails, we are ready for trial—ensuring the record is preserved for potential appeal. Throughout, we provide steady guidance, clear communication, and grounded advice.
