Experienced Lawyer Guiding Doctors And Professionals Through Divorce

Last updated on May 8, 2025

Medical professionals and other high-earning practitioners face unique challenges when navigating the divorce process. Divorce for doctors and professionals involves complex issues regarding practice valuation, retirement accounts, compensation structures and demanding work schedules. In Bloomfield Hills, physicians and other professionals require dedicated legal representation that understands both family law and the distinctive aspects of professional careers.

At Bono Legal Group, PLLC, we provide tailored legal guidance for doctors and professionals in Michigan who are ending a marriage. Our attorney has extensive experience representing health care providers, lawyers, business owners and other professionals through the divorce process. We understand the complex financial structures, licensing concerns and reputational considerations that make these cases different from standard divorces.

Complex Asset Division For Professionals During Divorce

When doctors, executives and other professionals are facing divorce, there are often sophisticated financial holdings that require careful valuation and division. A high-asset divorce involving a medical practice, law firm or other professional business presents unique challenges regarding proper valuation methods and division strategies.

Our approach to professional practice valuation includes:

  • Distinguishing between personal goodwill and enterprise goodwill
  • Analyzing compensation structures, including productivity bonuses and partnership distributions
  • Evaluating retirement plans, deferred compensation and equity interests
  • Assessing real estate holdings, equipment and other tangible assets
  • Determining appropriate valuation methods for the specific practice type

These complex financial matters benefit significantly from both legal knowledge and financial acumen to secure a fair division while preserving the viability of your professional practice.

Protecting Professional Licenses And Career Interests

Protecting professional licenses and maintaining career viability remain paramount concerns during divorce proceedings. We understand the regulatory frameworks governing professional licenses and work diligently to structure settlements that safeguard your ability to practice.

Our attorney helps professionals address potential impacts on:

  • Licensing board requirements and reporting obligations
  • Partnership agreements and buy-sell provisions
  • Hospital privileges and credentialing status
  • Professional reputation and practice marketability
  • Ongoing business operations during divorce proceedings

We develop strategic approaches that minimize disruption to your professional practice while pursuing fair financial settlements.

Customized Parenting Plans For Busy Professionals

Demanding careers with unpredictable schedules create unique parenting challenges during and after divorce. We help design flexible custody arrangements that accommodate on-call schedules, hospital rounds, court appearances or other professional obligations while maximizing meaningful parenting time.

Our attorney will work closely with you to develop practical parenting plans that serve your children’s best interests while respecting the realities of your professional work demands.
