Business Divorce Lawyer Pittsburgh, PA
When you start a business with your spouse, it may seem like the best way to build your career, family, and legacy. But when the marriage goes sour, it can affect the business. Or, business difficulties or disputes about the direction or long-term goals of the business can take such a toll on your marriage that it crumbles. Whatever the catalyst for the end of the marriage, the result is the same: a complicated, often disputed division of your shared property and business assets.
Absent a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement that divides your business interests, Pennsylvania state law and any agreements about ownership will determine the division of your shared marital business interests. Regardless of the paperwork, disputes about ownership are common.
Our Pittsburgh business divorce lawyer can help sort through the complex financial issues, including valuing the business and the equity each spouse may have built in it. Our firm has extensive resources to value your ownership stake, including access to forensic accountants. We’re skilled negotiators, and may be able to negotiate a settlement in which one spouse buys out the other. Whichever side you’re on, either the spouse who wants to keep the business or the one who is fighting for their fair share, we can help you achieve the best resolution for your goals.
