Ownership Stake This is normally the most contested cost during a high net worth divorce. If you and your partner have business assets that qualify as marital properties (assets acquired after marriage), you could be forced to share business ownership rights.

Not only cannot you make decisions without consulting your partner but you also have to settle with the idea of a part of the business dividends going to him or her.
