Businesses, Business Owners and Divorce

In many family-owned businesses, both spouses contribute to its success. Even if only one spouse runs the business, the other spouse often contributes in many ways – by participating when needed, raising the children so the other spouse can focus on the business, helping to market the business, and more. Therefore, addressing how family business assets are divided in a divorce is not a simple matter. If you are a business owner who is considering divorce, you are probably wondering how your business will be distributed and how its value will be affected during the process.

Rosanne DeTorres, Esq., answers your questions on our webinar, Businesses, Business Owners and Divorce, as she discusses family law for business owners and strategies you can use to prevent losing your business.
