I am a self employed contractor...I'm a director of my own limited company. My spouse is also a director and holds 50% of the shares.
She claims we are now "legally" separated. She claims to have a certificate, but I'm not sure as we still reside in the same house, and while we don't generator eat or sleep together, she still cooks most meals, etc.
She is not going to give up shares in the business. I wouldn't expect so anyway.
I appreciate, she is entitled to 50% of the money in the business.
Is it worth closing my business now and starting a new one with just me as sole director and shareholder, or will that not make any difference until we have reached a finalised financial settlement?
Thanks.
