Business assets - will they be shared out after divorce?

[WiggyClawsThe2nd]

I have run a service business as a sole trader for 25 plus years. Over that time I have built up a lot of equipment relating to my business, although the majority was owned well before I even met my husband. Will he have any rights to my business equipment if we divorce?

My understanding is that it’s unlikely because you need it to support yourself and it’s an illiquid asset. Is it worth a lot?

Probably around £6000 for everything. But vital for my work yes.

I don’t think I would worry about this.

Good job you don't work in my field really. Trust me, the equipment is essential to do my job!

No, what I mean is I think it would be unlikely that any judge would want to touch any business assets such as this, as this is used to produce your income. You can’t sell the asset without it affecting your business or livelihood so it’s not something the court would order.

@Mumof3confused Oh that's a relief!
