Trying to represent yourself in a divorce or post-divorce matter is unwise since you are emotionally involved and not a trained attorney. There has to be a valid reason for reopening a divorce.

Second question, what happens if I close down my LLC Business?

The only way that any one can help you is if you provide more facts. There is no point in speculating.
Will spouse need to file back business tax reports, etc.?
answered on Mar 5, 2022
There are far too many variables and unknown facts to provide you with a meaningful answer. You best way of proceeding is speaking with an experienced business and/or probate attorney. With the current economic environment, the IRS is not an agency you want to take any chances with. Good luck.
I received a ticket in the mail addressed to my legal name for the alarm going off on a vehicle registered to a legal LLC corporation
answered on Feb 19, 2022
Unless your LLC is a properly custom drafted LLC with 3 members, it is easy to pierce the corporate veil and you are going to be liable. It is cheaper to just pay the ticket, you are not going to avoid liability, due to several reasons.

The answer depends on the facts of your case thus I suggest you speak with a lawyer, but generally you will be looking at the civil litigation statute of limitations for Superior Court cases, assuming you meet the standards of being in Superior Court of NJ.

An "S" Corp is the accountant's best friend and your worst enemy. You need to retain an experienced licensed attorney to custom draft the documents required for an LLC. If you are not at least a 3 member LLC the "corporate veil" that protects you from liabilty can easily be pierced.
