MEDIATION

Who owns the business after a divorce ? It’s best to seek help of mediator to work out options to go forward.

DISPUTES OVER JOINTLY OWNED BUSINESS

There are a lot of couples who own a joint business. Upon separation, it is important that this business is split or if they decide to carry it forward as it is, they have to split the profits according to a deed.

Business Mediation

The profits of said business would be one of the most important providers of financial support for a child in this case. Business profits must not be ignored and equally divided between both the parents as well as the child to secure their life. The assets in a business when valued must be divided evenly between both the parents after separation as there can be a lot of disputes which can arise between all the parties and make the life of the child suffer. It may be that one parent, who is earning more by a business, may be hesitant to contribute to the child’s life. In the eyes of the law, the business profits must be divided equally among both parents and out of that, they must contribute to the child’s life.

Why Choose lakes Mediation Over Court?

Why Mediation Is Needed

The basic needs of a child are to be fulfilled through the financial support and it is equally important that the child’s entertainment is funded equally by both parents. Parents must take an interest in the life of the child and at least one must be there to take an active part in taking his care.

Many parents understand the importance of dividing business assets among them and many of them don’t. The matter can be very complicated and personal because the situation here is to divide the assets of the business which can be personal to a parent as well.
