Divorce Plus Business? #1 Financial Statements

Why Do Financial Statements Matter?

If one or both spouses own a private business, the financial statements form the backbone of your case. Failing to understand and find problems with the financial statements can mean:

  • Higher or lower alimony payments.
  • More or less assets.
  • A malpractice suit.

The business determines income and assets so getting this right is critical. Get the entire “Divorce with a Business” document list here.

I’m collaborating with my colleague Greg Clark on this post. Greg hails from Indiana and has a similar practice focus—business valuation in divorce and litigation. Greg and I are going to talk about our experiences with financial statements and why they matter to you as a divorce attorney or divorcing spouse.

As business valuators, we know how to review financial statements to help determine if additional information is needed or what adjustments are required.
