[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK Op here and I need to clear something up.  All she did was go back to work so he could quite his corporate job to start the business.  It was 100 percent his idea, his blood, sweat, and tears, and she doesn't have an ounce of experience in the field.  She truly knows nothing about the business. She just did her part as a martial team and had to be the breadwinner for 3-4 years.  In my opinion ANYONE should be willing to work and not get rewarded for life for it.  Its not like she had the knowledge or the idea behind the business.  I think thats an important point of clarification. [/quote]

NP here.  I agree with the others that OP should quit while she's behind.  Every post she makes makes her look worse and worse.

OP--If you are, as one of your responses says, getting a prenuptial, I hope that your affianced has enough sense to include a prenup that says that the business is solely his premarital and that you aren't entitled to any of it in the event of a divorce.  The point is that it's his business and money, and not yours.  He can manage it anyway that he wants and based on any prior agreements that he has.  Without her working to support him, he would self-admits that he would never have been able to afford to start up this business.  As everyone should know, starting up a business is hard.  The first few years are always a struggle to break even, let alone make a profit.  The family has to live somewhere and eat while the business is in its formative years.  She provided the family income to allow him the luxury of starting up a business with no profit margin.  Without her blood, sweat and tears working another job, he would have had to provide for a family and would not have been able to start up a new business.  So, yes, she is fully entitled to a portion of ownership of the business.  It doesn't make you look very good showing how little you recognize that.  The question is, why do you deserve any more of the proceeds of this business than she does?  She at least supported him while he started off the business.  You've done nothing to earn any benefit off of the fruits of the business.

Frankly, you aren't keeping her on any payroll.  He is, by agreement.  If he can't be trusted to keep his word to her over what they agreed on during their marriage how would you be able to trust that he would keep his word to you?  He's either trustworthy or he isn't.[/quote]
