QUESTION
Can a judge force me to remain in business with my husband?
Asked on Sep 12th, 2012 on Divorce - Texas
More details to this question:
My husband and I own some commercial property, and also have a loft in the building. He left me, and I now live in the loft. I want to sell the property, but my husband claims that because it's in my best interest to keep it, that a judge can force me to. I don't trust my husband as a marriage partner, or business partner. I want to sell the property, and invest in something else. Can I be forced to remain his business partner? He can't afford to buy me out, and I don't want to keep it.

No, the judge will not force you to go into business or remain in business with anyone, however when a divorce is pending the judge can order what happens to a community property, income or business if the parties do not have an agreement. Since this is a family business, the sale will not be just your decision to make if a divorce pending.
