Clients come in wanting “asset protection,” but their biggest threat isn’t lawsuits or creditors — it’s a looming divorce. Here’s what a judge actually looks at in a family law case, in order:
1. Property division
2. Spousal support
3. Custody & parental decision-making
4. Child support
5. Attorney’s fees
Each category affects the next, which is why divorce planning gets complicated fast — especially when a business was created during the marriage. A company that “looks” worth $30 million may not be worth that after a forensic accountant digs in. Personal goodwill vs. enterprise goodwill can dramatically change the valuation.
If divorce is on the horizon, don’t wait. Understand how your business, assets, and income will actually be analyzed.
