One of the biggest hurdles in a New Jersey divorce action is arriving at all of the terms needed to draft and sign a marital property settlement agreement. This agreement is a contract between the spouses that outlines each party's respective rights and responsibilities after the divorce regarding alimony and child support, custody, parenting time, debts, and distribution of marital property subject to division.
Analyzing Every Option and Consequence
Our legal team is led by founding attorney Arnold Schancupp, who has an LL.M in taxation from New York University School of Law. He uses this additional technical training, knowledge and insight to help clients understand the tax consequences and arrive at an equitable resolution to any of the following complex financial issues that may be a part of their divorce action:
- How to properly valuate closely held businesses and other corporate ventures or entities, including the tax consequences of selling and liquidating a partnership, division or company
- The effect of a sale if marital property is liquidated or kept until children are in college
- Correct valuation of investments, including executive compensation packages, and dividing vested stock options
Not only does our legal team have the experience and skill to aggressively negotiate on your behalf, we also have access to and routinely work with a wide variety of experts who can help us properly valuate assets so they are fairly divided. From accountants and appraisers to insurance professionals, our northern New Jersey marital property settlement attorneys know how to use resources in a economical manner to find personalized solutions for your legal situation.
