What happens when a founder gets divorced?
gexla: Perhaps you are asking the wrong question.  A more effective question is "what happens to a business when one of the owners gets divorced?"  I have no knowledge of this area, but I'm sure there is a ton of info on the internet.I'm sure the answer largely depends on your business structure.  For example, a corporation is a separate entity from your personal finances and there are really no owners, just shareholders.  So in this case your wife may only be able to take shares.If you don't have a corporation or haven't created any other the other business structure then any money you make is dealt with by a schedule C which makes you a sole proprietor.  This money goes into the "marriage pot" and your wife would be able to hit this the same as the rest of your finances.Best advice, talk to a lawyer and an accountant.  ;)
