Many times in a divorce the parties own a business and the worth in the divorce case in disputed. The court must consider the worth in the division of a closely held business. In most cases, the parties to a divorce will agree that one party will be awarded 100 percent of the business, with the right to own, operate, and receive funds from the business. The other spouse will, therefore, receive an appropriate amount of other marital property to ensure a just and right division of marital property.
In less frequent cases, the parties may agree to each maintain a percentage of the business, with one or both parties continuing to operate the business after the divorce. Another option is the sale of a business, with each party receiving a portion of the proceeds.
