Entitlement to company assets?

[Expansionthrusacrifice]

I would appreciate any feedback on this,..
I have been in common-law relationship for 20 yrs, 3 yrs ago, the ex started own company of which I have 10% shares. He also has holding company of which I have 25% shares. The holding company bought a townhouse and a piece of land in August of this year. My ex left in July of this year. Do I have any claim/entitlement to company assets? Or is it just my shares that I will end up with? Thank you

I am not a lawyer.

I would say no. In giving you a specific number of shares, he made a clear indication of intent. You cannot argue that there was some implied intent that you have a greater share in his business.

Unless you did a specific amount of work for the company on an unpaid basis, you haven't shown any further claim.

In a common law relationship you have no claim to each other's assets.
