[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, ask him to give you another 22%![/quote]

I think 22% for OP would be inappropriate.  She did not help start the business nor has she provided any investment funds.  IF OP gets married to the business owner, then I think the prenup should be clear on division of marital assets in terms of the income stream from the business that her BF takes as salary -- that is a marital asset/contribution to the marriage.  Pre-nup should be clear about division of retirement assets accumulated during this time, as well as how to value and split any increase in the business's value during the life of the marriage.  Perhaps as a part of the married couple, OP will have contributed to that in some way -- arranging client dinners, taking on the lion's share of household/childcare duties so BF can focus more on the business, acting as a sounding board, foregoing putting income into the marriage/home/kids in favor of reinvesting in the business, etc.  Or maybe OP doesn't deserve any increase in the business value during the life of the marriage if OP's plan is to maintain her own career full-time and split all household duties down the middle.  Whatever, if a prenup is being discussed, now is the time to discuss these issues, as well as future child support and alimony, valuing other marital property like the home, etc. [/quote]
