Re: Distributing of Business Assets

Thank you for your inquiry.

Your question is extremely fact sensitive. However, based upon what you have stated, I believe that while your spouse would receive less than 50% of the value, she does nevertheless have a claim.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your potential divorce matter, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,
