Self Employment Divorce Overview

Divorce Law Legal Help When Your Spouse is Self Employed

Trusted and Experienced Chicago Family Law Lawyers Since 1966

When you are divorcing and your spouse is self employed, it’s difficult to be sure that the full financial information needed for a fair outcome has been presented. Is all income reported? Is there a separate fund account you don’t know about? If earnings are left in the company, does it count as income? And if income is used to buy assets, does it count as income or as a business expense?

At the Law Offices of Elliot Heidelberger, attorneys Elliot Heidelberger and Kurt Hurtgen have practiced divorce law for a total of over 50 years. We are skilled at helping clients maximize their deserved financial outcome in divorce proceedings and disputes against self-employed spouses.

We use our extensive experience coupled with the help of financial experts to thoroughly investigate spouses’ financial claims. We can examine business records, tax statements, receipts and other documents to ensure that all income and assets are fully divulged, maximizing your award for:
