Re: Separate Financial Marriage

Corporations cannot get married. If each of your businesses are incorporated, the marriage of a share holder is not a means to cause liability to the spouse. If the shareholder is not personally liable for the debts of a corporation, their spouse certainly would not be liable either.

Good Luck
