Where a couple jointly own, work in or have an interest in a family business, this can be a contentious issue when dealing with financial provision on divorce. Our team understands that a business and its assets may need to be protected. We regularly deal with clients who depend on the income they receive from the family business to meet their income needs and indeed have invested significant capital, both financial and emotional, in building the business to make it a success. We work closely with other professional experts to ensure that clients are fully advised on tax and related issues in order to ensure that the business’ potential is maximised for the parties’ benefit.
