Business Asset Division in a New York Divorce
Long Island Divorce Lawyer Explains Factors of Property Distribution
In a
divorce, equitable distribution of marital property can also include any assets
and property accumulated through a business during marriage. If you and
your spouse were business owners or partners while married, you cannot
wait to hire a Long Island divorce lawyer who can help you fight for the
settlement you deserve. Business asset division is often a complex
high net-worth divorce process that requires experienced legal counsel and representation.
The most important step in
asset division is to establish whether or not the business is considered marital or separate
property. Marital property is distributable under New York family law,
while separate property is not. For example, if one spouse owned the business
prior to marriage and the other spouse was not involved in the business
at all, it is likely that the property is not distributable. If the two
spouses started the business together while married, however, equitable
distribution may apply. Contact Samuelson Hause & Samuelson, LLP right
