Divorce For Owners of Newer Businesses
When you own a company or professional practice, there are often more complicated issues in divorce. Business startups, professional practices and family companies all pose unique challenges in property division. Splitting a business as an entrepreneur or established business owner may not be practical. You may need to consider a buyout of one spouse’s shares. In some cases, the sale of the business or professional practice becomes necessary. Preparing for divorce as an entrepreneur involves hard decisions for both family finances and business operations. It may be hard to keep emotions at bay when personal and business interests collide. Nursing strong emotions going into business matters can lead to costly mistakes. As much as possible, you need to consider the divorce as another business transaction and take action accordingly.
