RF...this is a dumb question, I guess, but are you not entitled to any of the proceeds of the sale of this business?

I've done the same, allowing my domineering husband to write the divorce agreement without benefit of a lawyer, as I had been so intimidated by him for 20 years, and not wanting to make him mad! Just wanted OUT! I didn't touch his investments, retirement, inheritances, etc., and the law master said to me< "Your assets are considerably less than his; are you sure you want to settle for this?" to which I meekly replied, "this is what we've agreed on." She stated that by signing the agreement, I could never come back later and ask for a better settlement. Now, 11 years later, I'm really feeling the pinch financially of being on a single income.
