Experienced Business Valuation Attorneys in Southern California
California family courts recognize that every business is unique and that each has its own distinct tangible and intangible assets. As a result, business valuation has become one of the more complex aspects of high asset divorce cases.

Business Cash Flow and Its Impact on Divorce
One very important aspect of the business valuation process is the analysis of its controllable cash flow. What exactly is controllable cash flow? Essentially, it involves the cash on hand that most businesses have at least some of, and that most business owners have access to — money that may be added to the business owner’s income.
In a divorce, this type of “off-the-books” money is often the subject of dispute because of the major impact it can have on alimony payments, child support payments and property settlements. This includes claims of unreported income, self-employment perks, and the claimed payment of personal expenses through the business.
Whichever side of this issue you are on, our attorneys have the experience and resources needed to effectively protect your interests by presenting a fair and accurate picture of the business’s financials in court.
