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 hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
