My husband and I have been separated for over a year. We are planning on filing in the next month or two. The business is not up and running, nor will it be for at least another six months, but since I am starting it before our divorce, I worry he may try and claim part of my income.

My divorce was final June 3ed after many delays. No formal notice was issued to my spouse.
There is no 30 day rule. I assume you are talking about an Appeal or setting aside the MDA. You were supposed to inform the Spouse of the Termination Of Insurance. In effect, you have lied to the Court. The Spouse has grounds to Set Aside the Divorce, possibly up to 1 year from Judgment.
It will take at least 45 days to file a Detainer, serve you, and get the necessary Judgments to remove you. Hopefully you can take the new leasehold in 2 to 3 months.

I had water damage and the contractor said they would have to remove the subfloor and replace it. Turns out they only dried it then laid the new floor over the warped subfloor.
Depends on the claims. Breach of contract is 6 years is most cases; consumer protection act claims are one year; property damage three years. It all just depends on the nature of your case. You'd be wise to consult local counsel.
They are now asking for it back. There is no Title
If it was a gift to you, then no, you wouldn't have to give it back.
