The Costly Financial Risks Physicians Face in Divorce
Physician divorces carry financial risks that most professionals, including attorneys, don't fully understand. Complex compensation structures, practice ownership, and high income create blind spots that lead to expensive mistakes.
​​
-
Practice valuation errors. Personal and enterprise goodwill are not interchangeable, and classification and timing can materially change what is exposed to division in divorce, depending on jurisdiction and case-specific facts.
-
Income mischaracterization. Bonuses, call pay, and practice distributions get lumped together, distorting support calculations.
-
Double-dipping on assets. Practice income counted once in valuation, then again in support, costing you twice.
-
Tax consequences ignored. Settlements require cash. Where that cash comes from, retirement accounts, stock, or practice equity, determines what you actually pay. The tax hit is often overlooked until it’s too late..
-
Conflicts of interest. Financial advisors who want to manage your assets post-divorce can't give you unbiased settlement advice.​
These aren't hypotheticals. They happen in physician divorces every day, and they are preventable with the right strategy.
You deserve a financial partner who understands the weight of high-stakes divorce decisions.
