How Business Interests Are Divided in a Divorce
In Massachusetts and New Hampshire, marital property is divided equitably in a divorce. Every divorce is unique and what is equitable will depend on the facts in your divorce. Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during your marriage.
Marital property also includes profits or value gained on businesses, accounts or other high-value items during the course of your marriage. Even if you owned your shares or had control of your small business prior to your marriage, any increased value may be divided as part of your marital estate.
