By following a few tips regarding financial decisions, couples could make the situation end on a more positive note. A collaborative divorce is an option … [Read more...]

Being a spouse or partner in an abusive relationship is a very difficult situation for you and your children.  Not knowing where to turn or what rights you have to protect yourself and your family can be painful as you try to do the best you can.  The state of North Carolina provides protection for people in this situation through the courts – Domestic Violence Protective Orders, which are also called a “50B,” or Restraining Order.

You have found the love of your life and are planning your marriage (or you are currently married to the love of your life – congratulations - in which case you may need a post-nuptial agreement as described below).    While you plan for your life ahead, including the wedding, you might be thinking about all the “stuff” you both have and how you would like to protect it … just in case.  That’s what a pre-nup agreement does, right? Most people believe that a pre-nup agreement is a way to … [Read more...]

The role of money in divorce

More than one-third of respondents to a SunTrust Bank survey reported that the main conflict in their marriage was over money. The Federal Reserve Board reports that couples who have similar credit scores are more likely to stay together than those whose scores show a greater disparity. People with higher credit scores are also more likely to remain in a committed relationship. Despite this, there is also some evidence that wealth makes people in Charlotte and around the country more likely to … [Read more...]

Tax law changes can affect divorce settlements

People in Charlotte considering divorce may wonder about the impact that tax reforms will have on the end of their marriages. Divorce can bring significant changes to people's annual tax returns, and the types of changes will soon themselves be strikingly different. Tax reforms passed into law as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will go into effect in 2019, reversing the way that alimony and spousal support have been treated in the U.S. tax code for almost 80 years. While the changes … [Read more...]

Some couples in North Carolina who get a divorce experience significant stress from the financial uncertainty that may result as they go through the divorce process.

This means having a complete understanding of all of their liabilities, income, assets and expenses. Individuals can have many different types of financial assets. They may include certificates of … [Read more...]

Business valuations and adjustments to divorce settlements

Business ownership in North Carolina creates many variables for married people to consider when they pursue divorce. Sometimes, both spouses own roughly equal shares. However, it's more likely that only one spouse has a controlling stake in the company. The spouse who has enough shares to exert control might try to skew the valuation of the business to influence the outcome of the divorce settlement. Attempts to reduce a business's value on paper include hiding assets or downplaying their … [Read more...]

Tips for protecting finances in a divorce

When Charlotte couples are getting a divorce, they might need to take steps to protect their finances. If a person is leaving an abusive relationship, there may be extra steps such as securing any valuables.
