Divorce and Family Business Assets

March 27, 20252 min read

Going through a Separation and have a family business?

When relationships break down, the division of assets can become a complex and contentious issue. This is particularly true when a family-owned business is involved.

In family law matters, an accurate and independent business valuation is critical to ensuring a fair and equitable division of assets. But how do you assess its true worth?

Business valuations provide an objective assessment of a business’s worth, helping to establish a fair market value that both parties can rely on during negotiations. Without a proper valuation, one party may undervalue or overvalue the business, leading to disputes that can prolong or break down negotiations, cause any mediation process to fail, and increase the chances of the matter escalating to very costly litigation that can go on for years.

In the event that parties cannot negotiate their financial terms, mediation is often a preferred alternative to lengthy and expensive court proceedings. A well-documented business valuation helps provide clarity and transparency, allowing both parties to negotiate with confidence. This reduces the likelihood of disputes and helps reach an amicable settlement more efficiently, saving time and legal costs for both parties.

For many families, a business is not just a source of income but a significant financial asset. A thorough valuation considers tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill and future earnings potential. By understanding the true worth of the business, both parties can make informed decisions that secure their financial future post-separation.

Separation Support Network works with our clients to attain business valuations for their business to help them understand the fair market value of this important asset. We strive to help our clients negotiate the terms of their financial arrangements so that both parties can continue to protect the family busines, avoid unnecessary legal distractions. We help you to have the capacity to continue to running the business without being highly distracted and worn out by lengthy legal battles.

Questions about our

Services?

Cancellation or missed sessions policy

Given the nature of our support services, last minute cancellations are costly, and it means that other clients may miss out on receiving the required support.  For cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment there is a $65 part fee payment. For less than 24 hours cancellation notice or a non-show, the full session fee will need to be charged. These fees are refunded however if the session can be filled at the last minute.

How are your counselling and coaching sessions held?

We know our clients are time poor and many are rurally and remotely located.

For your convenience, all our sessions are now available online via Zoom.

You can book your appointment online via this website.

Zoom allows us to connect with you via video and audio. It just requires you to click on a link to join. You can sign up to Zoom to create a FREE account and download the Zoom Client for Meetings. Zoom does require internet connections.

After you book you will be sent a reminder about the booking and emailed a link to connect at the booked time. You are also likely to be sent a client information form to complete prior to your initial consultation to enable our Counsellors and Coaches to be better prepared for your first meeting.
