Understanding Income and Cash-Flow for Support Purposes
(1.0 Professional Responsibility Credit)
What you think you see is not necessarily what you should get. Financial information can be less than clear and understandable. This session, presented by seasoned veterans who are recognized financial experts, provides you tools and understanding to get to the real bottom line of cash flow from which maintenance and support should be determined.

Hon. Elizabeth D. Hoskins Dow, Circuit Court of Will County, Joliet

Marital/Non-Marital Characterization and Forensic Tracing
(1.0 Professional Responsibility Credit)
Explore the legal and forensic issues at play in tracing investment accounts and businesses established prior to the marriage.  Discuss alternatives in situations where account statements are no longer available such that a conventional tracing of a given premarital investment account is not possible.  In connection with the analysis of premarital businesses, the ramifications of loans, capital contributions and changes in the given business’s circumstances, such as a restructuring and/or change of ownership via a shareholder buyout, will be analyzed. Other topics that will be addressed are issues surrounding retained earnings and the reasonableness of the compensation of the shareholder spouse.
