Asset Protection in St. Louis
One of the concerns with divorce for a professional is asset protection. In some cases there may be a prenuptial agreement which needs to be enforced. When assets are complex, such as ownership in a LLC (Limited Liability Company), an attorney is often required to untangle what has been tightly knit together. In other instances, marital assets cannot be split 50/50. For example, property division of an art collection is possible, but you cannot split a standalone piece of artwork.
At our law firm, we work to protect the assets that are important to you with proper divorce planning. We represent many types of professionals in divorce proceedings, including:
- Doctors
- Lawyers
- Dentists
- CPAs
- Executive VPs, CEOs or CFOs
Missouri Tax Considerations Involved With Divorce
Some high income individuals own businesses, while others are executive staff. In each case, a divorce for a professional can result in significant taxable consequences associated with asset division, as well as income and deduction considerations. Our lawyers will work closely with you to determine a divorce agreement that minimizes negative tax consequences.
Child Custody and Support Concerns
In many divorce situations, a professional has been the sole or primary income earner in the marriage and the spouse has been the primary caretaker of the children. We have worked to make sure our clients' child custody agreement protects parental rights and includes the parenting time that is desired. Many of our professional clients who divorce have maintained significant amounts of parenting time, or share joint physical custody.
