Is Your Dental Practice Being Overvalued in the Divorce?
You knew divorce meant dividing assets.
But no one warned you your dental practice could be grossly overvalued—with inflated numbers for "goodwill," projected income, and future revenue streams that don’t even exist yet.
Suddenly, your spouse’s lawyer is treating your hard-earned career like a liquid bank account.
And if you don’t respond strategically, you could end up owing more than your practice is worth.
What’s Fair Isn’t Always What’s Proposed
In New Jersey, a dental practice can be part of the marital estate—even if it’s in your name alone.
But that doesn’t mean every valuation is fair.
We’ve seen opposing experts treat practices like gold mines, assigning numbers based on aggressive projections, phantom goodwill, and assumptions about your future you may not even agree with.
That’s why I work closely with some of the most respected forensic accountants in New Jersey.
Together, we challenge inflated valuations, separate personal goodwill from enterprise value, and make sure you're not penalized for the very success you worked so hard to achieve.
Dr. Mike from Middletown Got Blindsided
(Name and details changed to protect client confidentiality)
He ran a thriving solo practice.
When divorce hit, he expected the home, the savings, and maybe some retirement to be in play—not his patient list, professional goodwill, and a made-up valuation that claimed he'd owe his wife hundreds of thousands just to keep his doors open.
That’s when he signed up for my NJ Divorce Course.
By the time we spoke, he already understood the issues, the risks, and the leverage points.
We teamed up, brought in the right expert, and protected what he built.
