Business Owners & Divorce Lawyers in Indianapolis

Proactive measures are essential to safeguarding your enterprise. While every case is unique, the following steps can help secure your position:

• Get a Professional Valuation: Do not rely on guesswork. We work with forensic accountants and business valuation experts to establish an accurate, defensible value for your company. This protects you from overpaying in a settlement.
• Keep Finances Separate: If you haven’t already, ensure personal and business finances are strictly segregated. Commingling funds can make it difficult to prove which assets belong solely to the business.
• Explore Settlement Options: Litigation puts your business in the hands of a judge. Negotiating a settlement allows for creative solutions, such as trading other marital assets (like real estate or retirement funds) in exchange for keeping full ownership of the business.
• Maintain Status Quo: Avoid making drastic changes to the business structure or salary distributions during the divorce, as this can be viewed as an attempt to hide assets or manipulate income.
