Divorce is a challenging process that affects individuals and families across all walks of life. Dividing assets is a crucial aspect of divorce proceedings and this is no different for divorces involving farming businesses. We recognise the unique complexities of farming divorce settlements and offer specialised legal guidance to ensure fair resolution.
Divorce proceedings involving farming businesses require an understanding of how farms are valued. Farms can be valued based on their net assets or a profit-earnings ratio basis. The valuation method chosen depends on which yields a higher value. Farms are valued similarly to other businesses. The settlement will take into account factors such as land value, livestock, machinery, and agricultural assets. This evaluation process is essential for determining the fair distribution of assets during the settlement.
In cases where the farm is jointly owned with other family members, navigating the division of assets can become more complex. Legal expertise is essential for addressing ownership rights. You will need support determining each party’s share, and reaching a fair settlement.
Protecting farm assets during divorce proceedings requires proactive legal strategies, from prenuptial agreements to postnuptial agreements and trust structures. Specialised legal services can help safeguard the integrity of farm assets and mitigate potential disputes.

If it was inherited before the marriage it could be considered separate property. Trusts can also make things more complicated because there are specific rules about how assets are handled.
