A couple operating a joint business may find that there are significant challenges in dividing such an asset if divorce becomes a consideration.

An understanding of value is essential for making any decisions about dividing a business in divorce, and this could be accomplished through valuation or through calculation.

But if a child is a gifted athlete in pursuit of Olympic dreams, the question of who will be responsible for those expenses can arise.
