Re: money
The short answer to the exact question is yes. The long answer is that it depends. There are several factors that a court would consider in allocating property and debt. This is an issue of community v separate property. The comparable assets and income of the parties would considered in allocaiton of property and debt. Contribution to the business and whether it was started before the marriage, how long it was operating before the marriage would also be considerations.
