Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Business benefit

I got a divorced and still live with my x-wife. I am in the process of starting a home business. Is she entittled to any of the business profits and benefits,just because we still live together?? If you increase your net worth after the divorce can she try and claim spousal support?? Do I have to move into my own home to avoid this??

M O V E !!!! WHY DON'T CHA?

By continuing to share space w/ an Ex, you are effectively having her subsidize your business. If you were only just room mates, the arrangement might not be fraught with the danger you are courting, that may not be limited to just having to "share" your ill gotten gains.

Move !!!

Good luck,
