Relationship Property
When relationships change, relationship property (which comprises earnings and assets created during the relationship) is usually divided equally - but sometimes there are other considerations or even disputes over what belongs to the relationship and what property is separate.
Most of the time, ex-partners want to get on with their own lives - they just need to know what their joint assets are worth, and need assistance planning an exit strategy.
NZ Accounting can provide an independent and unbiased opinion where the primary focus is - what is in the best interests of the relationship property estate?
And where the relationship is reasonably amicable, NZ Accounting work between the parties to provide a fair picture of the value each partner should be attributed. This process removes the stress and is usually a more cost-effective approach than engaging family lawyers. This process does not preclude or devalue the use of family lawyers where resolution is not possible, and the work can be undertaken on a WITHOUT PREJUDICE basis - which means our findings cannot be used by either party in any future proceedings unless this same information can be discovered through other means, should the matter go to court.
NZ Accounting also undertake forensic investigations into financial information where it is necessary to investigate what happened to specific business assets in order to identify intermingled, separate & relationship property assets. Our findings can be used to support your legal team develop your case in the family court.
