We live in PA and have been separated for 6 years. Neither one of us has filed for divorce. He started the business while we were married and living together. I helped with it while I lived with him. I never received child support for them. I received money here and there. I have dime debt that I paid down when I started living on my own and in school. I just found out that he purchased a house after years of him telling me he doesnโt make any money. From what I read, I have no claim for the equity in house since we were separated when he purchased it. He saved a nice chunk for the down payment but only claims to make 25k. So even though I didn't want to go after business in the past, I feel it is the right thing to do Now. I'm struggling working 2 jobs while my husband has a 500k house. Am I still entitled to part of business if I've been separated for so long. I am going to apply for child support. I was always afraid in past because I assumed I made more money than he made.
Having a divorce attorney would benefit you. You could have him subpoena your H's records to determine where he got the money for the down payment and could look into evaluating your husband's business. I think you may very well have an interest in your husband's business.
