Professional Practice And Divorce Lawyer
Divorce changes your life in many ways, but with the right help, it may not have to affect your professional practice as much as you might think. A skilled divorce attorney can help doctors, lawyers and other professionals protect their practices and professional licenses from the potential damage of a divorce. I am attorney George L. Metcalf, and I have spent my career helping people through divorce, protecting their interests and figuring out efficient solutions for their legal issues. At George Lambeth Metcalfe, P.A., in Vero Beach, Florida, I can be there for clients with professional practices to help them maintain integrity and professionalism amid and after divorce.
Strategies To Protect A Professional Practice
Doctors, lawyers and other professionals may have additional concerns and challenges when going through a divorce. Can a spouse take half their business in a divorce? What about business debt? How can I maintain my reputation and my relationships with my clients? A skilled, experienced divorce lawyer like myself can answer these questions and provide insightful legal guidance through divorce issues related to your professional practice.
In general, businesses can be considered marital property in Florida, which means that each spouse is entitled to half of the assets and liabilities in a professional practice if there is no existing prenuptial agreement. This includes both business assets and personal assets in most cases, as well as business debts and personal debts. If your business was established during the duration of your marriage, it may be subject to property division processes.
However, there are strategies and actions we may be able to take to protect your business from these divisions. With an attorney’s help, you can figure out asset protection strategies, negotiation methods and ways to guard your interests. I can also assist in maintaining your reputation as a professional during and after divorce in order to help maintain goodwill and relationships with your clients. I have spent years working with different types of professionals in all types of situations, helping them find a way through the divorce process successfully while protecting what they’ve built.
