S9 Ep56: Can a Judge Make You Split Your Ex's Business?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman In a divorce, a judge has the legal power to order the division of a business if marital assets or funds were used to support its growth. While you can leave the decision to the court, reaching a settlement with the help of your attorney allows you to maintain control over your financial destiny. • The court can legally order a business to be split, shared, or bought out if it is determined to be a marital asset. • Judges typically require a professional valuation to understand the true value of a business before making a ruling. • Parties have the freedom to settle their case privately at any point during the months that a case pends. • Choosing a trial puts the decision in the hands of the court, which often results in outcomes that satisfy neither party. • Existing legal documents, such as prenuptial agreements, can significantly influence how a business is handled by the court.
