High Net Worth Divorce and Business Valuation
California is a community property state.

Don't lose your hard earned income and assets in a long and irresponsible legal battle. At the Law Office of Jacqueline Y. Blade you will receive the personal attention you need in order to avoid these problems and protect your assets.
Division of property, especially when it involves a business or a high-net-worth divorce, is a complicated process that requires a lawyer who knows how to seek and find hidden assets and accurately value businesses.

Blade, we have the knowledge and the experience to aggressively, intelligently and creatively assist clients in developing fair property division settlements and support agreements.

Plan for Divorce
If you are even considering divorce, make copies of critical documents such as tax returns, insurance policies, bank statements and earning statements while you are still living together. Inventory what you have. Once people are no longer living together, they often have no access to these documents.
Find Assets of High Earners and Performing Appropriate Business Valuations
When a high income earner is not forthcoming about their business earnings, we turn to experts, including private investigators and forensic accountants to obtain the documents needed to determine accurate values. If it is necessary to go to trial, we will be prepared with expert witnesses and extensive trial experience. We use experts to dispute valuations that appear inappropriate. There are many ways to trace funds that are community property that have not been disclosed, and we have been successful in obtaining accurate financial pictures and fair property divisions for our clients.
Protect Your Financial Situation
As a divorce and bankruptcy law firm, we review our clients' situation related to debt and division of property. We help our clients understand the debt liabilities they may be facing, even if they did not incur the debt.
