If you're over 50 and facing divorce on Chicago's North Shore, custody battles aren't your concern—your children are grown. Instead, you're dividing Kenilworth estates worth $1.5M-$8M+, Lake Forest lakefront properties $2M-$10M+, CME trading bonuses, and substantial assets under Illinois's equitable distribution.
The North Shore (Winnetka, Kenilworth, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe) features America's highest wealth concentration per square mile.
You spent 30 years supporting the business. Raising the children so your spouse could work 80-hour weeks. Entertaining clients. Sacrificing your own career.
Now the business is worth $2 million — and you're supposed to accept whatever valuation your spouse's expert produces?
Business valuations aren't objective facts. They're arguments. And your spouse's expert will minimize value at every turn: discounts for lack of marketability, depressed revenue projections, "adjustments" that shave $500,000 off the number.
And that's just the business on the books. What about deferred compensation that vests next year? Earnouts from deals closed during marriage? Consulting agreements that are really salary by another name? Your spouse knows every dollar. You might not know these income streams exist.
You don't need to become an expert in business valuation. You need someone who knows where value hides, challenges low-ball numbers, and makes sure 30 years of your sweat equity aren't erased by creative accounting.

Can you afford North Shore solo? $1M-$8M+ estates with $25K-$80K+/year property taxes are impossible on one income for most. Selling and relocating is common.
