When one or both spouses own a business, divorce introduces a layer of complexity that standard asset division does not cover. Valuation disputes are common. The method used to appraise a business can produce significantly different numbers, and those differences have direct consequences for what each spouse walks away with. Brodzki Jacobs works alongside financial professionals to establish defensible valuations in Fort Myers divorce cases.
For closely held businesses or professional practices, that process requires documentation going well beyond standard financial statements. The goal is not to inflate or deflate value but to arrive at a number the court will accept as accurate. If business ownership is part of your divorce picture, contact Brodzki Jacobs early so the valuation process can begin before positions harden.
