Business started during marriage
|
My spouse and I started a business while we were married.
My spouse continued to run the business during our divorce process and has a salary of about 125,000 per year (we have been going thru the divorce process for over 3 years now) My spouse has been dragging out the process and been syphoning money out of the business and now the business is on the verge of shutting down. $ years ago the company was valued at over 3 million dollars. My question is how do I get any of the value of the business when it was worth something ?? or am I just FU@KED ????

Need to know more about the business structure. You both started it but you gave him total control after a while? You had no say in his syphoning off money? Where did that money go? How long married? Income now?

Business was in spouse's name and another partner's name
I filed for divorce 3 plus years ago and was fired from company 2 weeks after I filed. I haven't been involved in business in 3 years.
we were married 5 years when I filed it has been 3 years since we were separated.
as of last asset disclosure statement Spouse had over 125,000 in income.
I have had zero income since un employment ran out 2 years ago
Looking at the bank statements from spouse the money has been pissed away on concerts,limos, liquor,home improvements, new car

Sorry to hear you have no income and that th divorce is dragging out. I can't tell what's going on procedurally -- what is taking so long to go to trial.
As for the business, although its a marital asset and lots of things re possible in theory, in practice I wouldn't expect much at this stage of the game. Perhaps the best plan is to find employment and move on.
