Issues Unique to Professionals
We are sensitive to issues that may arise during a divorce that are important to professionals and their spouses. These issues may include:
- Valuation of a business interest
- High-earner child support
- Investment of marital assets into a business
- Contribution of stay-at-home parent to a spouse who obtained a professional degree
- Spousal support
- Division of retirement accounts
- Tax implications of divorce
High-Earner Child Support
Since complex property division and high-asset divorce have been discussed at length elsewhere on this website, we want to focus here on one particular issue that can be of importance in a divorce involving a doctor, lawyer, CPA or other professional who earns a high annual salary.
In the state of Texas, child support is determined in accordance with a set of child support guidelines. However, Texas judges have considerable discretion to deviate from the guidelines to award a higher or lower child support award. Since judges have such a high level of discretion, it is essential that your attorney have considerable experience in divorce cases involving high-income professionals. We encourage you to visit our attorney profiles to see why so many people have chosen the Law Office of Janet McCullar to protect their financial rights.
