Elmhurst Business Valuation Attorney

Divorce Lawyers for Dividing Businesses in Cook County and DuPage County

If you or your spouse own business interests, either together or separately, this is often considered one of your most valuable marital assets. Aside from being worth a significant amount of money and providing a source of income, a business often represents years of hard work, and you will want to ensure that this effort does not go to waste. During your divorce, you will need to work with an attorney to determine the value of your business interests and make sure these assets are divided fairly between you and your spouse.

The lawyers of Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC are highly experienced in divorce cases involving high net worth and complex assets. We can work with you to protect your family business or professional practice, and we will aggressively advocate for your rights and your financial interests from the beginning to the end of the divorce process.

“Even when a case is working toward settlement, I am simultaneously preparing it for trial, because that’s the best way to settle a case effectively; and if it does not settle, you need to be prepared to try the matter and not be taken by surprise.” - Maxine Weiss-Kunz

Methods of Business Valuation

If you or your spouse founded a business or acquired an ownership interest in a business during your marriage, these business assets will be subject to equitable division during your divorce. However, before determining how to divide these and other marital assets, it is first necessary to establish the actual monetary value of the business. There are several approaches to valuing a business, including market value, cost, and income.
