Re: divorce
Generally, anything you or he owned individually before marriage, you each keep after divorce. But if you mixed together these things as a married couple, then they may be considered joint property at divorce, which means you may have to split/share them to some degree.
While you were married, if you bought something together, or both worked to pay for something together, or the value of something increased, then that will be joint property. For example, if the limo company was something new after you married, then you can argue it's part yours. If he owned it before, but it grew during your marriage, then you can argue to get part of the amount it grew.
Unless you had an agreement that your work during marriage was only for you to survive, you are likely entitled to some part of the joint property.
