‪@FosterSwift‬ A business can survive many things but what about a rocky relationship? If you own a business that you started prior to marrying your spouse, you may find yourself in a difficult situation should you file for divorce. How will your business be impacted? Will everything have to be divided 50/50? Things can get complicated very quickly.
