Experienced In Complex Division Of Assets

While it is important to work with an experienced attorney in any divorce, divorces involving complex marital estates increase the importance of legal representation. Failure to address multiple properties, savings, retirements, business ownership interests and other complex assets adequately could result in significant losses.

At The Powell Law Firm, we help clients with a wide range of complex asset issues in divorce and family law. Our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience representing clients in Pearland, Houston and the surrounding area of Texas. We can help you understand your options and make informed decisions to protect your financial interests in divorce.

Factors That Can Make Asset Division More Complex

Although complex marital assets are found most commonly in gray divorces (divorces involving people over 50 years old), couples in any age bracket can have complicated assets to divide in divorce. Our lawyers help clients of all ages with complex marital estate matters involving:

  • High-asset divorce: Separation and divorce involving significant assets can involve complications. Our lawyers help clients determine the scope of assets, recognize tax and other implications and distribute assets favorably.
  • Hidden assets: Our attorneys help clients uncover instances of hidden or wasted assets in complex marital estates.
  • Division of businesses: When one or both spouses have business ownership interests in a divorce, complications can arise involving valuation of the business’s debts and assets, and keeping the business operating while dividing its value.
  • Division of investments: Our attorneys help clients with dividing spouses’ 401(k) and other investments in divorce. While investments of this kind can be complicated to divide in a divorce before they are liquidated, our lawyers bring decades of combined experience and knowledge to help clients divide these assets favorably.
  • Estate planning: Our lawyers understand the alterations that need to be made to clients’ wills and other estate planning instruments to accommodate changes in beneficiaries, available assets and debts.

Dealing with property division in divorce can take a great deal of time and effort. When a divorce is contentious and drawn out in the courtroom, the cost and time involved to reach resolution is only increased. Attorney John Powell III is credentialed as a Mediator recognized by the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association, and he is a member of the Association of Attorney-Mediators and the Texas Association of Mediators. We use alternative dispute resolution to help clients find amicable and efficient distribution of complex marital estates.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”

    (R.T.)
