Uncover financial truth for fair settlements: Your family law and divorce forensic accounting support starts here.
Divorce and family law disputes involve more than legal proceedings—they require careful financial analysis that uncovers hidden assets, determines appropriate support levels, and ensures fair settlements. When emotions run high, facts matter most.
At BPM, we provide sensitive, thorough forensic accounting and valuation services that support attorneys and family members through complex financial issues while protecting interests and achieving equitable outcomes.
We combine technical forensic skills with understanding of California family law to provide analysis that stands up in court. Our services address the unique financial complexities of marital dissolution while maintaining professionalism and sensitivity.
Marital Business Valuation: We determine “marital value” for family businesses—a unique subset of valuation that differs from commercial fair market value. Our professionals understand the fine points that lead to appropriate settlements under California family law.
Income Available for Support: We identify all sources and amounts of income available for spousal and child support, including investigating lifestyle behaviors to uncover undisclosed income or personal expenses paid by family businesses.
Asset Tracing and Reimbursement Claims: Our fraud examination techniques trace hidden assets, determine community versus separate property characterizations, and quantify reimbursement claims including Family Code Section 2640, Watts charges, Epstein credits, and Pereira/Van Camp calculations.
Expert Testimony: Our professionals compile and provide credible expert testimony and reports that communicate complex financial analysis clearly to judges, opposing counsel, and mediators throughout family law proceedings.
Family law disputes demand accuracy and sensitivity while addressing emotionally charged financial issues. Our approach includes:
When you work with BPM, you gain forensic professionals who understand both California family law requirements and investigative techniques used by agencies like the IRS Criminal Investigation division. We welcome joint expert assignments and have extensive mediation experience, often successfully concluding matters through collaborative conference settings with both attorneys and parties present.
