Dividing Business and Real Estate Assets in Divorce

In many divorce cases, the most substantial assets that need to be divided between the two spouses are business interests and real estate. As opposed to a bank account, both of these types of assets can be particularly difficult to value and distribute fairly between two parties.

Miami property division lawyer Ronald H. Kauffman draws on his experience in family, business and real estate law to help clients resolve business and real estate issues in divorce. Clients can rely on Ron to protect their interests and pursue workable solutions to difficult matters.

Identifying, Valuing and Dividing Key Marital Assets

There are multiple steps involved in the process of dividing marital assets in a Florida divorce. First, those assets must be identified. Then, they must be valued. Finally, the parties must negotiate a property settlement or go to court to determine how the assets will be divided.

Ron is prepared to guide clients through this process, and his varied experience as an attorney puts him in an especially strong position to help clients divide these complex assets:

  • Business assets: If you own a business that you rely on for your livelihood, you are going to want to maintain ownership and control of the business. If your spouse has built a business during your marriage, you are going to want your fair share of the value of the business. Ron can help you identify your goals and pursue the results you deserve.
  • Real estate: A family residence is both a home and an investment. Especially given recent turmoil in the housing market, you are going to want to obtain the maximum value for the investments you have made in your home while determining which spouse (if either) is going to continue living there. Ron can help you address these important issues.

Family Law

There are a number of attorneys in South Florida, but only a handful are board certified in marital and family law by the Supreme Court of Florida and the Florida Bar. Ronald H. Kauffman is one of them.

Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements are important for couples planning to marry. Many people believe prenuptial agreements are only for the rich and famous. However, prenuptial agreements help all couples.

Paternity

Paternity actions are filed in order to legally establish a child’s biological father, typically for the purposes of protecting one’s parental rights or to allow the mother to acquire child support from the father.

Same-Sex Relationships

Because Florida does not recognize same-sex marriage — even for individuals who were married in a state where same-sex marriage is legal — Florida statutes regarding divorce do not apply to same-sex couples.

Parental Relocation

When one parent wants to move more than 50 miles from their current address with a minor child, they will need either the consent of the other parent, or a court order granting a relocation petition.

Assisted Reproductive Technology Law

Increased use of in vitro fertilization, surrogate parenting and other assisted reproductive technology (ART) for the purposes of giving birth have added a new level of complexity to family law issues.
