MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE

Protecting Your Business And Future In A Divorce

All marital assets must be divided under the North Carolina equitable distribution law when a marriage ends in Greenville and Pitt County. This means property is divided fairly, though not always equally. For a business owner, the process is far more complex; your company, whether solely or jointly owned, may be your largest asset.

At Miller & Audino, LLP, we help business owners across Greenville and Pitt County protect what matters. We bring more than 50 years of combined experience, plus attorney Jay Audino’s board certification in family law. Our compassionate, holistic approach means we focus on both your financial security and your peace of mind as we navigate this process together.

Navigating Business Assets And Property Division In A Divorce

Divorces involving business assets present unique hurdles. A critical step is distinguishing between separate property, assets owned before marriage and marital property, which includes the growth or increased value of a premarital business during the marriage. What appears simple can quickly become complicated when your company’s worth has changed over time.

We help you create a plan to protect what you have built, helping ensure that every financial decision supports your long-term stability. Throughout the process, our team provides clear feedback so you can make informed choices about your company and your future.

Business Valuation In Property Division

Accurate business valuation is often the most contested element of a divorce. Determining true worth requires examining income, debts, market trends and future growth potential. These details directly affect how property division is negotiated or ruled upon.

At Miller & Audino, LLP, our skilled divorce lawyers guide you through each stage:

  • Identify marital and separate property: We trace funds and growth to show what portion of your business is subject to division.
  • Engage a financial expert: We work with certified valuation professionals to provide precise numbers for court or settlement.
  • Negotiate the business’s future: Options may include a buyout or selling business assets and splitting proceeds.
  • Consider tax consequences: Our strategy addresses significant tax implications that follow a business division.

Attorney Jay Audino, board-certified in family law, has the proven skill to handle these complex financial matters and protect your interests.
