Dallas High-Asset Divorce Attorney
Experienced Counsel for Complex Property Division
Marital asset classification and division can become challenging and hotly
contested when there are complex assets involved or when the
divorce involves individuals of high net worth. It is important to carefully analyze
the separate and community property disclosed by each party in order to
determine if assets are being hidden or assets are being undervalued.
In certain instances, it will be necessary to hire professionals to value or appraise business assets or the business itself. There will obviously be times when a spouse is claiming that the value of a business is not divisible because its worth is based solely on good will or on name recognition. There may be times when an asset started out as separate property but has had infusions of community property assets. All of these scenarios are considered complex property division issues and must be effectively dealt with in order to determine a just and right division of the material estate.
At The Law Office of Ellen Schutz, we have extensive experience advising clients on complex divorce and property division matters. Ellen offers more than two decades of experience handling family law matters exclusively and uses this experience and knowledge to benefit each client.
