Who This Is For

This Was Not Built for the Average Divorce.

Standard divorce guidance is built for W-2 earners with a mortgage and a 401(k). You have equity, a team, partners watching, and a valuation that can move by millions depending on how this is handled. That calls for a different kind of read.

Founders & Co-Founders

You built this company from scratch. The question is not whether it gets valued. The question is how, and by whom, and using which methodology.

Managing Partners

Your partnership agreement may already contain provisions that activate the moment a divorce begins. Most owners find this out far too late to use it.

Executives with Equity

Salary, distributions, retained earnings, and stock options are all treated differently. Getting this calculation wrong at the temporary orders stage anchors everything that follows.

Owners with Employees

Your team is watching. Your clients are watching. The assessment shows you exactly what to communicate, to whom, and when.

THE STAKES

The Owners Who Protect Their Companies Move First, Not Fastest.

Four exposures decide most business-owner divorces, and every one of them is shaped before a case is ever filed.

  • The valuation methodology chosen before a filing can move your outcome by six or seven figures. Most owners have no idea it is negotiable.
  • Arizona is a community property state, and what counts as yours versus shared is rarely simple. Depending on when and how your business was funded, the analysis can shift major equity in either direction.
  • Your operating or shareholder agreement may already dictate what happens to your equity in a divorce. Most owners read that clause for the first time when it is being used against them.
  • Divorce discovery can reach deep into your business records. What is required, what is merely requested, and what stays protected is a strategic question with consequences well beyond this case.

Each of these is far easier to shape before a filing than to repair after one. The assessment shows you which ones apply to you, while you still have room to move.

The Framework

One Decision Made Wrong Undermines Everything Else.

Most owners focus on just one or two of these pillars, usually the one tied to their immediate worry. A fast resolution that concedes too much equity is not a win. A quiet process that triggers a valuation fight two years later is not a win either. The four work together, and the assessment scores all four.

Clarity

Replace the fog of not knowing with a clear picture of your exposure, valuation range, and what is actually within your control.

Control

Protect your decision-making authority. How assets are divided determines whether you stay in the driver's seat of the company you built.

Containment

Prevent the divorce from entering your workplace. What is filed, who is notified, and what is disclosed versus protected are strategic choices.

Strategy

Every legal decision is a business decision. Support calculations, valuations, and settlement structures each have direct effects on cash flow and operations.
