We are familiar with complex financial issues arising from cases with a large community estate.

It is important to complete a correct accounting of all assets and income from the marriage to determine cash flow available for support, community property vs. separate property interests, retirement benefits distribution, income tracing, and business valuation.

Our experience includes working with forensic accountants, business evaluators and appraisers to advocate for your financial position.

In dissolution matters involving large community estates, it is necessary to complete a comprehensive accounting of all assets involved in the marriage. This process begins with a thorough investigation during the Discovery phase of the litigation. Using the information gathered, we work with appraisers and forensic accountants to correctly calculate community property and separate property interests. This is necessary for equitable division of the community’s assets upon finalization of the divorce.

If you suspect your spouse may have hidden assets or business relationships, you will need an attorney with the resources to investigate and trace unreported assets and income. Our office uses veteran private investigators to aid in the investigative process when the opposing party is attempting to conceal their income.

Our Complex Litigation Department has handled many cases involving multi-million dollar estates. When you retain the Law Offices of Michael Kelly, you have a team of attorneys, forensic accountants, investigators, and support staff resolving your case.
