Business.com explores how divorces affect companies. Know what to expect in the days ahead to protect your company and the work you invested in it.
Financial affects
Depending on whether your soon-to-be former spouse has a claim to your assets, you may need to put work projects on hold. You could lack the funds to complete deals, buy commercial equipment or offer raises. Depending on how long it takes to divorce your spouse, money could become tied up longer than you expect. You may need to put things on hold or adjust your strategy.
Daily business operations
As an entrepreneur, you may need to focus every thread of your attention on your company and employees. Divorce proceedings could distract you or drain your emotional reserves. Even if you have no problem splitting your concentration between your company and your divorce, you could struggle with time management. You may need to gather documents and meet with your legal representative. Take care that you do not run yourself ragged.
Do you and your current spouse run the company together? Perhaps he or she wants business stock as part of the divorce settlement. Either way, you may not like the idea of your marital partner becoming or remaining as your business partner. Her or his actions may throw the company into turmoil.
Without proper preparation or understanding, your company could suffer from your divorce. Do yourself a favor and prevent that from happening.
