A: Maybe some sort of very minor severance pay but all things being equal and from a fairness standpoint - you likely ought to be entitled to no portion of the business. However, issues like this are too detailed and complex to be answered with any degree of accuracy in a forum like this so your best bet is to consult with a local family law attorney who can review your specific situation in more detail and provide you with likely options / outcomes. Best of luck.
