Everyone will agree, getting divorced is difficult. Add a spouse who is also your business partner, and the complexity shoots into the danger zone. But, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your business association must end as well as your marriage. No, really.

Kate Taylor’s Entrepreneur article, “If You Run a Company Together, What Happens When You Divorce?” explores how this can be done by providing divorcing couples with the right tools and expert support to make the transition from married business partners to divorced business partners.
