Complex Financial Cases

A case can become complex in a number of ways and a variety of levels, including where there is one or more closely held businesses owned by a party, self-employment income, bankruptcy or pending foreclosures, executive compensation packages, loss of employment, a long period of separation where assets have increased or decreased in value significantly, the death of a party, pre or post marital agreements, unique or foreign assets, or trusts established. The legal professionals at Vitale Family Law have experience handling complex financial cases. Your case may involve taking depositions (where a witness is asked questions under oath and the answers are recorded by a court reporter that produces a transcript), the request for and production of detailed financial documentation, tracing of assets and analysis of contracts or other legal issues. In certain cases, it becomes necessary to hire an expert to assist in a case, such as a forensic accountant, business or property appraiser, vocational or financial planning expert, or investigator.
