A couple operating a joint business may find that there are significant challenges in dividing such an asset if divorce becomes a consideration. A California judge could be relied upon to decide how to fairly split a family business as proceedings reach the court system, but some couples may want to avoid having an outside party make these decisions. 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.
