How divorce affects company shares, a sole proprietorship and the spouses' joint property.

Divorce of an entrepreneur — what about the business?

The divorce of a person running a business must address both family and property matters. What is included in the division depends, among other things, on the marital property regime and on when the business was established.

For company shares or a sole proprietorship, valuation and determining which assets are joint and which are personal can be decisive. A well-planned division helps preserve the continuity of the business.

It is worth considering amicable solutions — an agreement on the division of property is often more advantageous than a lengthy court dispute.
