Depends. If the restaurant was acquired during the marriage, wife has an interest. If the husband had an interest in the restaurant before the marriage, and his stake did not change during the marriage, wife may not have an interest. The presumption in Nevada is that everything acquired during the marriage, no matter how it is titled or held, is community property subject to equal division. Wife needs to consult with an attorney to get a more clear picture of her rights and responsibilities, and she needs to do this before any divorce action is started.
