"I built my business with no support from my spouse. Is he still entitled to a share of it?"

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.
