Farmer’s Divorce

You face plenty of uncertainties in your everyday job as a farmer, so the added stress and complications of divorce can be especially taxing. A farmer’s divorce can present some unique challenges as farming operations, farmland, livestock and other farming assets can be difficult to divide. Our team at CashattWarren has helped many farmers navigate through a divorce. With our legal knowledge and experience, you can begin a positive PathForward through your farmer’s divorce.

One of the biggest challenges arises when a farm is operated on family land that has been passed down through the generations. Will the farmland be considered part of the marital property that has to be divided? And if so, how can that allocation take place? Those are just a few of the questions the CashattWarren team will help you answer in pursuing the best-case resolution for your divorce.

The land is only one piece of the equation. Many times, both spouses work equally hard in the day-to-day operations of the farm. How do you put a value on the farm itself and the work that each spouse has contributed to the farm? We will work with you to bring in the proper experts who can evaluate, assess and explain the values of the land and the labor. This step is crucial to reaching an accurate and equitable property settlement.

Lastly, your farm consists of many physical assets such as tractors, equipment and even livestock and animals. The experts we engage help us put an accurate value on these assets as well, to ensure your divorce agreement is fair and equitable. You have worked hard to build and operate your farm. Let us work hard to protect your farm so you can move forward with a clear plan for the future.

While you cannot control the weather, you can control how your farming assets are considered during a divorce. Schedule your initial consultation with the team at CashattWarren today so they can begin answering your specific questions about navigating divorce as a farmer and help you put a plan in place to take care of yourself, your family and your property. We will go to work right away and give you some clarity in this stressful and confusing time. Call us today at 515.421.9290 to get started.
