If a business was acquired or grown during a marriage, it is typically considered a marital asset subject to distribution, regardless of whether only one spouse built it. Courts rely on professional valuations to determine the business's true worth and profitability before making a final property award.

• Businesses built or acquired during the marriage are generally treated as marital property and are subject to division. • Even if one spouse managed the business alone, marital contributions from both parties are considered by the court. • Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements may provide legal protections or specific guidelines for business distribution. • Professional valuation by financial experts is essential to analyze revenue, allowable costs, and actual profit margins. • The degree to which a business is split depends on specific details flushed out during the property award process.
