During this episode we will discuss many questions about divorce court and valuation with T. J. Liles-Tims, a fellow testifying expert witness and valuation expert in Oklahoma City. Many people ask questions about divorce planning or how to get a divorce when you own a business. So let’s say a person has decided to get divorced and they have a business, but they want to plan ahead and know what to expect…

During this episode I will discuss Valuation Issues to Know Prior to Filing for Divorce. There is a handful of questions that business owners typically ask when they are contemplating divorce and they may not have filed. They may not have even discussed it with their spouse. And I want to give you a little bit of information so that you can be prepared if you decide to move forward with this process. So one of the biggest questions we have is how should I run my business? If I'm getting divorced, can I take on more debt?

How do we incorporate Zoom and GoToMeeting to facilitate divorces and continue to move couples through the process. The courts are open and divorce papers can be filed, but what if we can't show up in person?
