Property Division and Business Assets in a Divorce Settlement
Many La Jolla divorces involve high-value homes, investments, or professional practices. Property division in these cases can be particularly complex, needing detailed asset valuation, tax considerations, and thoughtful negotiation to achieve equitable outcomes. Business owners, medical professionals, and other high-net-worth clients often face unique challenges in safeguarding their personal and professional assets during divorce.
Spousal maintenance is another important consideration. Courts weigh factors such as income, length of marriage, and lifestyle, and high-asset divorces often require careful analysis of the long-term financial implications. Our attorneys provide strategic guidance to help clients pursue fair spousal support arrangements while protecting their own financial interests.
Child custody and support are also addressed with careful attention to each family’s circumstances. Maintaining consistency in schooling, extracurricular activities, and household stability is critical. We help parents create custody arrangements that meet California legal standards while reflecting their real-world schedules and lifestyle priorities.
Andrew J. Botros, APC has attorneys who are certified family law specialists and members of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. We bring authority and savvy to complex negotiations and courtroom proceedings, strategically handling asset division, parenting plans, and support agreements with legal precision and professional discretion.
