My soon to be ex-wife and I have been running a small business from our home...let me rephrase that I have been trying to keep the business afloat and she has not put an ounce of effort in to the business since it started in July 2006. She has spent business money on a car and things that we did not need. Can I sue her for lack of commitment in to the business, we were supposed to split the case load 50-50 but it was a verbal agreement?

we have an s-corporation if that matters....I did all the work and she spent all the money and then consulted our business lawyer about our business without my consent and told him that we are no longer taking clients...he was also our biggest client.

I wouldn't. Your best bet is to try and dissolve the partnership quickly and cleanly, rather than trying to sue for damages.

You can't really sue her (and win) for lack of commitment, but you can certainly make keeping the business and the tax breaks as part of your divorce settlement. You can make your allegations that she didn't put anything into the business as part of your divorce complaint unless your state has irreconcilable difference as the only cause for divorce..

HAHAHAHA, your so funny, even if there is no written document or anything saying that you two are in a partnership, you are. All you can do is try and dissolve it, any loss she makes, is a loss to you also, nothing you can do about it, should have thought about it before you started a partnership

I doubt that you would have a case. Unless your business is worth millions don't waste money on a lawyer.

The "different guy" did no longer have a settlement to "be honest actually unto you for thus long as you both shall stay".....you're spouse had that settlement with you. you're spouse broke your marriage settlement, no longer the different guy. the actually human being who has some thing adverse to him is his own spouse. in case you want a villain - then it is your spouse. Sorry, yet she's the actually one which strayed out of your marriage. inspite of if the different guy knew she became married - he did not make you any supplies you no longer to sleep consisting of your spouse, yet your spouse made a promise no longer to sleep with different adult males.

If she broke a contract then you could, but I would consult a lawyer.

you can sue anybody for anything, however based on the information you provided I do not see a case there.
