I represent a number of business owners, and this is a very common question. It’s also one that is not so simple. You must look at several factors under the equitable distribution statutes, such as:
- Was there a financial contribution from the other spouse towards the business?
- Did martial assets go towards the business?
- Was there a non-financial contribution by the non-owning spouse during the marriage?
These are very complex questions, which are very personal to your case
