Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

In the next 5 years (if things go according to plan) I will be buying my family's business. Before then, I'd like to ask my girlfriend to marry me. It's my understanding that if I aquire the business after I'm married and we get divorced, she would be entitled to half the business. This scenario happened with my parents and I would like to put precautions in place should the marriage disolve. Would any sort of nuptual agreement solve this potential problem?

You could address it with a prenuptial agreement, but you might have trouble selling it to your intended, especially if there's some serious money involved.
