Product Description

In many divorce cases an advanced degree in mathematics seems necessary. The interplay of income and complex assets such as business ownership, retirement accounts, trusts; the list of financial assets that need to be accounted for and divided when determining spousal support can seem overwhelming. Executives and employees may have complex compensation, which attorneys need to differentiate as assets or income components. This program breaks it down for you so that you can understand complex issues and explain them to your client!

Learn from expert faculty how to divide high-value assets, how to characterize separate property and community property, and how the new tax legislation changes the calculation. Don’t let the numbers intimidate you. See a demonstration of how to direct and cross-examine a financial expert. Acquire the knowledge you need to sort out sophisticated financial issues in your next divorce case.
