KW Economics provides divorce financial analysis for cases venued in Seattle, Washington. For a matrimonial matter in Seattle, the income analysis measures what a spouse actually receives in pay, business cash flow, and perquisites paid through a business, a marital business is valued from its own records and the Seattle-area market it serves, and separate and marital funds are traced through accounts and assets to their source. What a spouse could earn in other work is a question for a vocational specialist rather than for the income analysis. Matrimonial matters in Seattle are typically heard in the family or domestic relations part of the trial courts sitting in King County. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Seattle matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.
Employers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing shape the Seattle labor market, and where an analysis turns on local economic conditions it measures them against Seattle-area data and the records of the person or business at issue rather than against a citywide average. The report can be prepared for one spouse, for both, or for the court.
Financial analysis for matrimonial matters: determination of income available for support when a spouse is self-employed or compensated in ways that do not appear on a pay stub, valuation of business interests in the marital estate, lifestyle analysis that documents the marital standard of living, and tracing of separate versus marital funds through accounts and assets. Each analysis is written so counsel can present it directly and the other side can test it.
