Protecting Assets In Matrimonial Matters
Economic and tax issues surrounding the dissolution of a marriage demand financial expertise. Dividing property can have significant financial consequences and the resolution of a matrimonial case can impact the affected parties for years to come. If businesses or children are involved, issues of business valuation and child support, respectively, add to the realm of knowledge an attorney must have to help secure the best possible outcome.
