Business Owner Divorce Attorney
Property division can be complicated in any divorce. In theory, it should be easy to give each party their separate property. Then, the debate begins over marital property. That’s where the complications begin.
The confusion grows even worse when property becomes co-mingled. This is property that started separate, owned by only one person. Over time, the other spouse makes contributions to the property, giving them some legitimate ownership over the property.
If you are a business owner, you are susceptible to this co-mingling of property. Your spouse could claim a degree of ownership over your business simply because it supported your family.
The team at The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller can help you untangle ownership of a co-mingled business. Our experienced attorneys understand the challenges business owners face in a divorce. Let us put our skills to work for you.
If you are facing a divorce as a business owner, trust our attorneys to take care of you. Call us today at (757) 267-4949 for a free consultation.
Your Business as Marital Property
If you started your business with your spouse, it will most likely qualify as marital property. Each spouse owns marital property equally, and it normally includes any property you purchased during a marriage.
Even if you started your business alone, your spouse may have a legitimate claim to partial ownership. For instance, if they supported you while you grew the company, that may entitle them to a portion of your business.
Most states divide property equitably, giving assets to the most deserving partner. If your business is a marital asset, you need a deft legal team to help ensure that each spouse retains a fair, reasonable share of it. Our team can do this for you.
How We Can Help
Our team can help separate ownership of your business. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to help you walk away with full ownership and control of your company. We may be able to help you buy out your spouse’s portion of the business. If necessary, can also help work out a deal where you pay your spouse a fair percentage while maintaining control of the business.
We can also account for any other expenses associated with your divorce. For instance, you may be required to pay a large amount of spousal support or child support. If so, we can help argue that you must keep a larger portion of your business to meet these needs.
The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller is ready to help business owners keep their fair share in a divorce. For more information, call us at (757) 267-4949 or contact us online.

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!
