New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, which means assets and debts are divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. If your business is considered a marital asset, then it would be subject to equitable distribution. This means that the other party may be entitled to a percentage of the business, but that isn’t guaranteed.  If you work with an experienced divorce attorney who understands divorce involving business owners, you can seek creative solutions that may allow you to maintain ownership interests in your business.
