Generally, unless you go to court, the division of property would be up to the two of you. If all of this property was accumulated during the marriage, the likely outcome in court would suggest a roughly equal split with an optional distributive award making up any difference. This is how we approach property distribution while negotiating separation agreements. Proper valuations of the assets will determine the degree of success of your distribution. No divorce is easy. Yours may be a little tougher. Get a lawyer and try to remain amicable. Dividing business’ in court can become VERY expensive. I hope this helps.

quote:Originally posted by Jackie My husband and I own 2 businesses under a corporation in which I own 51% and he owns 49%. We own 1 home in which we live ($85000) owed and a vacation home ($120,000) owed both of which are fully furnished. We have 3 vehicles one of which is in the Corporation's name and the other 2 are in my husband's name. Can you give me some idea on how the E.D. would be based on the information I have given you?
Thank you in advance.
What about alimony for me? Since I own more of the business than he does would I be entitled? He operates the business’ I don’t think I could do it by myself if I had to because I haven’t been actively involved in the day to day operation over the years. The business could be sold but that would take a lot of time. My concern is how would I be able to live financially while they were tied up in the process of being sold. My portion of the business is 51% does that mean I would have to pay him alimony?
Thank you for your time and in advance for your help.

Greetings. Alimony depends on the income of both parties. What is his gross (before tax) income on a yearly basis and what is yours?
