Cannot answer. Who owns the business?

Your question is too broad and without the necessary specifics to allow an answer. Speak with an attorney, or engage one to represent you in this matter and the expected divorce. Do it now, the longer you wait the greater the risk and the lower the potential of a recovery.

Probably, unless you take her name off first. Of course, the real question is who owns the business? Both of you or just her or just you? If both of you own the business, I would think you would want to get a court order to prevent her from doing that or to have your name put back on. This is going to raise a lot of issues so I hope you have an attorney to help you through this.

Not until there is either agreement or an order of the court.
