Boston, MA family law attorney Terri Partridge talks about the issues that commonly arise in the division of complex property in MA divorces. She notes that when dealing with complex assets, she often engages experts to determine their value. She works with trusted professionals who specialize in asset valuation to ensure accurate assessments. Once a value is established, the asset can either be divided—allowing one party to receive half—or offset with another asset of equivalent value for the party whose name is not on the asset. In some cases, assets cannot be divided due to the terms of a partnership agreement, corporate bylaws, or similar legal restrictions. In these situations, she typically arranges for the asset to be held in a constructive trust by the owner, ensuring that the non-owning party retains an ownership interest and that the responsible party manages the asset appropriately and fairly.
