Listen to your lawyer. If she's the CEO and you work there too, there is NO serious question that it is a marital asset. Making her CEO to avoid a no compete may possibly have been fraud, and expecting a court to help you after doing that may be unrealistic. Bucking your attorney is a great way to have a tough divorce case turn into a disaster, especially when you're likely wrong.
