There are many important issues to consider in these cases including:

  • Structuring rental income and how it is connected to appropriate expenses to ensure proper accounting for child support and maintenance calculations
  • Identification and tracing of the contents of all bank accounts, investment accounts, safe deposit boxes and offshore financial interests
  • Valuation of business ownership interests, and impact of “good-will”

Advance divorce planning allows time to prepare for settlement negotiations, evaluation of tax implications, and to reflect upon strategic goals for the process.  It also helps to protect against abuses such as pre-divorce spending by the other party, or allegations of abuse or neglect in an attempt to affect parenting time or support liabilities.
