In a divorce without a prenuptual agreement, assets are almost always split 50/50 unless both parties in the divorce can agree otherwise. Therefore if together you both had 100% ownership in the company, after a divorce you will each have 50% of the company. One way to change this is for one person to conceed some other assets for a larger part of the company. Who ever has more than 50% ownership has control of the company BUT if, for example you have 60% and he has 40%, he would be entitled to 40% of the companies profits.

If you can't come to an agreement with the business, it is probably best to disolve the business and split up the assets and start the business over.
