Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Divorce and Business Ownership

My husband and I are getting a divorce and we own a business together. We are both fighting over who gets the business. I built this business to where it is and--name removed--hasn't worked at all. Rather then fighting over it, I would like to start the same company (Home Care for Seniors) in a different name and take my clients and caregivers with me and leave him our current business. Is this illegal? If so, what can--name removed--do to me?

Re: Divorce and Business Ownership

If you have not already done so you should immediately consult with an attorney familiar with family law and distribution of family owned businesses. It is impossible to give you a useful answer via this question/answer format - nor would you want one because then your strategy becomes public and thus accessible to your husband. My office is located in Harrisburg, PA and I represent family law clients throughout Central Pennsylvania. 7988-LAW
