Entrepreneurs & Business Owners in New York
Building a business requires vision, discipline, and risk tolerance.
Protecting it requires strategy.
At ASJ Law Office, we represent entrepreneurs who understand that their company is not just income. It is equity, intellectual property, goodwill, employees, reputation, and long-term financial security.
Whether you are preparing for marriage, navigating divorce, restructuring your family, or protecting your parental rights, we provide forward-thinking legal support designed to preserve what you built.
If You Are Getting Married Protecting Your Business with a Prenuptial Agreement
Marriage is personal. Your business is financial.
In New York, without a prenuptial agreement, your spouse may have claims to:
- Business appreciation during marriage
- Ownership interests
- Increased value of intellectual property
- Income tied to the business
A well-drafted prenup can:
- Define what remains separate property
- Address future growth
- Protect investors and partners
- Prevent forced liquidation
- Clarify how income will be treated
We draft sophisticated agreements that protect both the relationship and the enterprise. Our goal is clarity, not conflict.
If You Are Already Married And You Started or Grew a Business During Marriage
Many entrepreneurs build during marriage without realizing the legal implications.
In New York, business growth during marriage may be considered marital property. That includes:
- Increased valuation
- Retained earnings
- Expanded client base
- Sweat equity
A postnuptial agreement can:
- Define ownership clearly
- Protect future growth
- Clarify compensation structures
- Reduce uncertainty if separation occurs
It is far easier to create structure during stability than during litigation.
If You Are Going Through a Divorce And You Need to Protect Your Business
Divorce is emotional. Business valuation is technical.
We represent entrepreneurs who need:
- Strategic business valuation analysis
- Protection against disruptive discovery
- Confidential handling of sensitive financial data
- Settlement-focused representation
- Efficient resolution to minimize operational damage
We do not position ourselves as high-conflict litigators for scorched-earth battles.
We focus on structured, strategic resolution.
If your divorce is not yet finalized and issues remain unresolved, we help bring you to the finish line without destabilizing your company.
Your business must continue operating. That is always part of our strategy.
If You Are a Busy Entrepreneur Facing Custody or Child Support Issues
Entrepreneurs face unique custody challenges:
- Flexible but unpredictable schedules
- Travel demands
- Income variability
- Equity-based compensation
- Deferred income
New York child support calculations may not account for these realities without proper presentation.
We assist with:
- Custody agreements that respect your work structure
- Parenting schedules tailored to executive calendars
- Accurate income analysis under the Child Support Standards Act
- Modifications when circumstances change
We focus on solutions that protect your time and your children.
If You Have a Blended Family And Need Stepparent Adoption
Entrepreneurs often build second chapters in life as well as business.
If you are remarried and raising a child as your own, stepparent adoption may:
- Formalize parental rights
- Secure inheritance rights
- Provide long-term stability
- Clarify legal authority
We guide you through private adoption matters with discretion and efficiency.
