Together with lawyers from our other practice groups, your LPS family law attorney can advise you and present your position in negotiations, mediations or contested court hearings on such complex divorce matters as the following:
- Marital or separate property characterization issues
- Interpretation or enforcement of prenuptial or postmarital agreements
- Tax implications
- Advice about the effect of business or partnership commitments on marital property rights, and the other way around
- High-conflict community property division issues
- Advice about the liquidation of business or separate assets to fund structured or lump-sum alimony or property division settlements
- Revisions to such estate planning instruments as wills, trusts or powers of attorney to reflect your new family circumstances
In our experience, most contested matters in a complex divorce case will eventually settle. Our goal is to help our clients reach the point of a favorable outcome without undo or excessive expense, stress and delay along the way.
