Separations involving businesses are particularly complex. There are many special rules that apply to business division and income calculation. In most cases, our primarily goal is to ensure that the business can continue to operate unimpeded by the separation so that it can continue to benefit your family, while continuing to properly account for property division and support.
BARR LLP is home to Edmonton’s only practice group of lawyers who focus on divorces and separations involving businesses, farms, rental properties, and self-employment.
