My husband has total control over all of our money. He spends all he wants which is plenty, thats great he earned it, he deserves whatever he wants . But he makes me ask or even beg for things i need, such as a new vehicle etc. I can spend what I want for small things food..clothes.hobbies etc. But it is only a fraction of what he spends on himself and his friends and family. In his eyes i own nothing , he buys me something and when i am done with it , if it is of any value dollar wise it must be returned to him. He forced me physicaly {not legaly} out of the bussiness we founded. I thought we had been doing all of the work ..blood sweat and tears..{and my life savings} for US. Well as soon as we became a winning team making plenty of money, he dumps me. When I sugested divorce, he became furious and threatened to in his words "leave me pennyless pushing a shopping cart", because he will claim bankruptcy , and in six monthes time he will have our biz all to himself making just as much.

Wow...start over. He's a jerk. Get out now and get a good lawyer. You will get your share. Your husband isn't that successful for if he was, he would know about a little thing called "forensic accounting". A good divorce lawyer knows all about it and can use it to figure out what the business that you two build is REALLY worth.

I would suggest you get a good lawyer. Also, seeing that your husband sounds like such a self-centered jerk, having become "furious" and threatening to leave you penniless, I would suggest that you may also want to secretly (without him knowing it) hire a body guard to watch your back. When the "s*it hits the fan" as they say, and a guy like him discovers he's going to lose half of what he thinks is his, he could very well become violent. It happens all the time. Be verrry careful!

Review all documents that you both have signed, this will tell you what you are entitled to in a court of law. Anything that there is no record for (I am afraid is not admissible in court).
Also look at divorce proceedings for the state you're in, and if you have your own attorney he/she will be able to advise you legally on what to do, and can assist you in determining what is legally yours and what is not. At least this way if you do decide to proceed with the divorce you can go in being knowledgable of what lies ahead.
Allow this to be the absolute last resort, speak to your spouse and work things out.
Hope this helps
Good luck

The most important thing you can do is get a good lawyer right now or he will get everything.He will hide everything if you give him the chance.He is only threatening you so you don't do anything and it looks to be working.I know it's scary but that's what some bad men do.You have to be just has tough has he is and fight him for everything so you end up with your half.Good Luck!

Marriage and disolution of marriage entitles the partners to fifty percent of any wealth acquired during the marriage. Find a good divorce lawyer before discussing the divorce issue with him again or he, if he hasn't already, will plan a preemptive divorce and hide all th assets.
You file for divorce and freeze all of the assets before he can hide them or spend them, ideally. Speak with a lawyer.

if you two made the money and it is both names, then both must sign whatever he does. find out what he is doing in your and his business, then explain to him you own half, no matter what he says, and he will be just as broke as you, and get a lawer, one that is knowledgable in business law and find out your rights if he does try to take the business from you. this man sounds scared and is a bully, and will do anything to keep you out of his way, i'd get papers drawn without his knowledge and divorce him. because it sounds like he has already done the same.....good luck

contact a lawyer and make sure that it is in the paper that you get halve of the business or he can buy you. out. and tell him what he is planning to do.and do not let him find out that you are talking to a lawyer until the paper is served. good luck.

You need to push your way back into your business. Somehow you need to stand up to him and work it out. If you divorce it will cost both of you more than you can imagine. It is in your interest and his, to get your relationship more equitable.

It depends where you live, but in most cases if you do not have a prenup everything is 50/50
Call a lawyer
