CPAs are engaged in assisting attorneys in alimony and child support negotiations and calculations, locating and valuing marital property, providing expert witness testimony, and calculating the tax issues related to the division of property and on-going support payments. The CPA can assist in fact finding, provide financial consulting or be a business advisor to the attorney(s) or parties to the family law action. The Family Law resource section provides important information regarding the divorce process, factors to consider in accepting the engagement, the division of marital or community property, support, valuation and taxation issues in family law, as well as tools and aids for performing research and gathering critical information.
