St. Louis Divorce for Business Owners Lawyer
Legal Help for Divorcing Missouri Business Owners
Divorce is challenging. Divorce for a business owner can seem overwhelming. At our law firm, we make the seemingly impossible, possible.
We are Growe Eisen Karlen, family law attorneys located in St. Louis, Missouri. Because we focus on family law, we have amassed a significant amount of experience helping business owners successfully accomplish divorce. We help both parties to move ahead with their lives.
At our law firm we have been able to successfully untangle co-mingled businesses and marriage assets, including:
- Corporations with spouses as 50/50 shareholders
- Sole proprietorships
- LLCs with a third party linked to the spouse partners
- Closely held family businesses
- Spouse with 0 percent business involvement in the business
Business Valuation Experience
One of the most contentious divorce issues is often the current valuation and projected earnings of a business. We have experience providing business valuations for volatile businesses in either an up or down financial year. Our attorneys have been able to negotiate agreements in instances where one spouse is, for all practical purposes, the business and thus in sole control of the future earning power. Complex separation of property and business entities can be accomplished in a respectful and satisfactory manner.
Some of the considerations with which we have experience include:
- Income and cash flow
- Marital and non-marital asset determinations
- Property division, including business capital equipment
- Potential tax consequence of business
An Approach Suited to Your Goals
Everyone is different. Every marriage is a distinct relationship. Our approach to your divorce will suit your goals and needs, not someone else's. If you are a business owner wishing to separate your property, we can help.
