• Valuing and dividing property

This work involves a very detailed review of bank accounts and credit card statements to identify any unusual transactions. It also involves a review of changes in assets and debts over time. 

We have experience reviewing personal and business income for the purposes of determining child and spousal support. We have reviewed the business activities of numerous businesses which factor into the income available to pay child and spousal support.  

This service involves the comparison of income reported on tax forms and sources of income recorded in bank and credit card statements. This review can assist in supporting claims that income reported by a spouse is inconsistent with  thhis/her lifestyle.   

We have conducted mediations to assist our clients come to an agreement on issues including spousal support, child support, asset valuation, asset division and visitation schedules.
