I own 50% shares in a business with the person I'm divorcing from. It was setup before we were married. We aren't on bad terms, and we've agreed to keep equal ownership of it. Do I need to do anything about this in regards to the divorce application? I was told by others I'd need to attend a court hearing, but there is no dispute about it, and I already am legally entitled to my share.
Sounds like you will not have to attend the divorce hearing:
If there is no child of the marriage aged under 18 years, you
do not need to attend the divorce hearing.
If you have made a joint application, you and your spouse
do not need to attend the divorce hearing.
If you have made a sole application and there is a child of the marriage aged under 18 years, you
need to attend the divorce hearing unless there are special circumstances.
If your ex-spouse has, in their
Response to Divorce, opposed the application, they must appear to the divorce hearing.
