Enquiring for a friend. I have no experience and don’t see much on here for those that owned a business with their ex.
A friend and her husband owned a business. Electrical etc. He was the electrician and she did the books and appointments etc. They own a home and the business together. Married 20 years. She left him and he fired her. The situation was volatile and she had to stay with friends and they share their teen daughter every other week arrangement. She has found a minimum wage job and gets absolutely no spousal or child support. Struggling. She has a lawyer but I just found her lawyer is collaborative and doesn’t litigate. Her ex is trying to control what she will get. This has been going on two years. I told her to get a new lawyer. They had an accountant go over their business and she is asking for less than entitled to but ex is still saying no. What should her next step be? Is there something she can be doing without her lawyer that seems to be useless?
