Divorce can be a complex journey, especially when business ownership is involved. At Primus Family Law Group, we understand the intricacies of family law in San Diego and are here to provide valuable insights into a common concern: the potential division of a business during divorce proceedings. In this blog post, we’ll explore this issue and shed light on what you need to know.
The 30-Minute Phone Consultation Advantage:
Before delving into the specifics, we invite you to schedule a free 30-minute phone consultation with Primus Family Law Group. This personalized session allows you to discuss your unique situation with the Owner and Managing Partner of the firm, Bonnie Mantel, gaining valuable insights tailored to your circumstances.
Understanding Business Division in Divorce:
One common question we encounter is, “Is my spouse entitled to half my business?” In San Diego, the division of assets, including businesses, is subject to California’s community property laws. While each case is unique, the Primus Family Law Group team can provide a general overview of potential scenarios to help you navigate this aspect of divorce.
