When you or your spouse own a business in Texas, determining how much of that business is classified as community property is critical to protecting your financial future. In a divorce, an improper evaluation or misclassification of business interests can lead to a severely unfair division of assets—costing your family thousands or even millions of dollars.
At the Law Offices of John B. Polk, we understand the high stakes involved in dividing business assets during divorce. That’s why we work with a trusted network of experienced business valuation professionals to determine the accurate value and character of your company. Whether you own a small family business, a professional practice, or a large corporation, our goal is to ensure that your contributions are properly recognized and your interests protected.
But business valuation is only the first step. In many high-asset divorces, valuations are hotly contested, with each spouse presenting differing opinions of the company’s worth. John is an experienced litigator who understands how to challenge inaccurate assessments, expose hidden income, and present compelling financial evidence in court or during negotiations.
We assist clients with:
-
Determining what percentage of the business is community vs. separate property
-
Working with CPAs, forensic accountants, and business appraisers to ensure precise valuation
-
Addressing commingled assets, goodwill, retained earnings, and market factors
-
Developing strategies to protect your business from being sold or divided
-
Structuring fair buyouts or offsets to preserve business operations and equity
