Where the numbers
are the case.
// WHAT I DO
High-asset divorces are different. The questions stop being just legal and start being financial — what a business is actually worth, whose property is truly separate, where the money came from, whose investment grew it. Most family lawyers send those questions out the door to an expert and hope the answers come back right. Greg reads the financial record himself.
Most people who need this call are having the worst year of their life. The work is technical. The stakes are not.
That's the practice. Below are the cases it was built for.
Family law, built for the financially complex.
// The Practice
These are the scenarios family law clients and referring attorneys bring to Greg specifically — situations where financial fluency isn't optional but central to the outcome.
Five Cases Built For This Practice.
// THE CASES
The marital estate includes a closely-held business — and that business has to be valued, characterized as separate or community property, and divided without destroying it. Most family lawyers send the valuation question out to an expert and accept whatever comes back. Greg reads the work himself, challenges what needs challenging, and litigates around it. The business survives the divorce. The client survives with it.
The Business Owner Divorce
// CASE TYPE 01
01
Separate property is on paper. The question is whether it's still separate property in practice — after years of marriage, commingling, joint accounts, growth, distributions, and reinvestment. Tracing the history of an asset and proving its character in court is one of the most technically demanding things in Texas family law. It's also where Greg's accounting background does the most work.
The Inherited Wealth Divorce
// CASE TYPE 02
02
Property in multiple states. A trust in Delaware. A vacation home in Colorado. A holding company in Wyoming. Sometimes accounts, real estate, or trusts held abroad — in countries with different marital property regimes, tax structures, and disclosure rules. Each layer requires its own analysis and its own argument. Greg leads these cases as Texas counsel, bringing in international or out-of-state specialists when a matter requires them. These cases don't fit neatly into one courtroom, and most family lawyers aren't comfortable in the structures they involve.
The Multi-Jurisdictional Estate
// CASE TYPE 03
03
Custody, possession, and child support — but in a family where income is not a W-2. The other parent's income comes from a business, distributions, deferred compensation, or trust income. Lifestyle calculations matter. The cost of maintaining the children's standard of living is real. Most family lawyers treat the financial side of custody as ancillary; here, it's central.
The High-Income Custody Case
// CASE TYPE 04
04
Drafting a premarital or marital property agreement when the assets are complicated: a family business, an inheritance about to land, a partnership interest, separate-property investments that will be growing during the marriage. Done right, the agreement prevents the cases above from ever becoming contested. Done poorly, it creates new ones.
The Premarital Agreement Most Lawyers Won't Touch
// CASE TYPE 05

Beyond these archetypes, Greg practices the full range of Texas family law — standard divorce matters, child custody and support, post-decree modifications, enforcement of existing orders, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements outside the complex-asset context. Every case gets the same approach: prepared as if it will be tried, with the leverage that creates to resolve it well outside of one.

// BEYOND THE FIVE
Resolution-minded.
Greg is known as a litigator and recognized for his advocacy — but a courtroom is a tool, not a default. Credibility at trial is exactly what creates the leverage to resolve a case well outside of one. For clients who would rather not see the inside of a courtroom, mediation is often the most efficient path to a fair result — and Greg uses it where it serves them. Clients get a lawyer fully prepared to try their case, and clear-eyed about when settlement serves them better.
Litigation-ready.
// THE APPROACH
Attorneys: who wish to engage Greg as a mediator on a family law matter, please contact WEBB Family Law.
Greg Beane also serves as a neutral mediator on family law cases brought to him by other attorneys. He is a Certified Mediator through the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers — a designation that requires AAML fellowship plus dedicated mediator training and experience.
What he brings as a mediator is what he brings as a litigator: command of the financial questions that drive complex divorce. When a case turns on a closely-held business, a tangle of separate property, or a balance sheet most mediators would defer to an expert on, the parties get a neutral who can read the numbers and help both sides see the case as it actually is.
Mediation — As a Neutral.
// A SEPARATE PRACTICE
Attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors refer their most financially complex family law matters to Greg Beane for a reason: he speaks the language of the numbers, handles the case with judgment, and reflects well on the professional who made the introduction. If you have a client whose situation calls for this kind of practice, he welcomes the conversation.
