Business & Professional Ownership in Divorce
Family Law Attorneys in Columbus, Ohio
If you are a party to a divorce that affects a business or a professional practice, we can help you properly value those assets, including identifying what portion is included in the marital estate.
Helping With Business Valuation During Divorce
If you have been served with divorce papers or are contemplating a divorce or a dissolution of marriage where one of the parties has a business or a professional practice, such as a legal or medical practice, you will need an experienced lawyer to help you with the valuation of that business. In every case you will need to identify what is a marital asset and what is a non-marital asset in order to comply with statutory requirements and to reach a fair and just resolution to the case. The factors in categorizing these assets are many and require effective and efficient analysis in advance of determining other issues such as entitlement to alimony/spousal support.

Our Ohio Business AND Professional Property Settlement Lawyers
We work with men and women who need legal protection when dividing business and/or professional assets during a divorce or marital dissolution. If the business or professional practice was in place prior to marriage, we will help you determine what portion of the business or practice is considered a marital asset and what portion is not. As with all matters presented, it is vital to commence the valuation process immediately. Undue delay oftentimes results in unnecessary expense incurred by one or both of the parties.
At the law offices of Gerrity and Burrier, Ltd. we take pride in staying current in changes in the statutory and case law in the State of Ohio and the impact those changes have upon the disposition of business and professional practice assets. It is important to establish values and the impact of those values on the division of the marital estate and the entitlement to, or obligation for, the payment of alimony/spousal support.
