When people in Illinois get married, it is hard for them to imagine that one day they could each go their separate ways, but the reality is that many marriages end in divorce. Although divorce is never an easy thing to go through, it can be particularly difficult for married couples who jointly own a business.
Depending on how a business is structured from the beginning can determine how it will be split up in the event of a divorce. Typically, assets are split in half if a couple entered into a 50-50 partnership. If that is not the case, one person may be able to buy the other's shares in the company.
