The two most stressful financial aspects of a divorce are usually dividing the assets and deciding who keeps the family home. Especially if you inherited your house or built up considerable wealth before your marriage, it can feel unfair to split those assets equally in the divorce.
For business owners, a divorce also means there is a business to keep running and to protect. Your future ex-partner, however, may feel entitled to claim a share of your business and its income.
One thing must be clear: if your marriage is already over, it is usually too late for asset protection.
How we can help you
Keeping pre-marital money and assets separate
We advise you on how to secure the assets you brought into the marriage so that they are protected if you divorce. We help you identify pre-marital assets and gather the evidence that supports your claims if your former spouse challenges them in court.
Reducing the risk to your business
If you hold a stake in a family business or run a company founded before your marriage, you need to know how to minimise claims your partner could make on it. We help you separate your business from your marital finances, to reduce the likelihood that your spouse will bring a successful claim against the business in future.
