Should you keep your spouse as a business partner if you decide to end your marriage?

Cupid’s Advice:

You should only continue to be business partners if you can both agree that remaining partners is what’s best for the success of the business.  Here are three things you’ll need to apply:

1. Trust: If your divorce has caused a lack of trust between the two of you, it may be a struggle to trust each other as business partners.

2. Understanding:  It’s important that you both realize your relationship is now strictly business.  Don’t budge on this or it will inevitably cause problems.

3. Maturity:  You’re going to want to get under each others’ skin, but you need to act like adults so you can make the best decisions for the business.
