Difrent's Detachment - Attempts at It, Anyway

[DifRent]

Hey WhyUs... how fortuitous! So, yes, it's an LLC. I own 30%, but I have equal rights in all decisions we make. When we structured the company this way, we did so for all those tax reasons... made more sense for her to take more losses because of her higher income. The property is deeded in the business's name, and none of the properties were purchased prior to our relationship. We are not legally married.

Our real estate attorney is the best, but since my W is a realtor and uses her all the time now, I can't consult her about any of this. In fact, I'm sure she'd refuse to represent either of us in a conflict against the other, since she is friends to both of us and, believe it or not, doesn't even yet know what's going on with our relationship!

Anyway, I just found all this out tonight, so I haven't had the time or opportunity to reach out to professionals yet. I want to get a DB perspective before I got legal counsel... she's not necessarily being adversarial right now. She's probably just feeling even more guilty, pressured, and torn about things. I don't want to add more to all that's on her plate right now, but I also don't want to get screwed.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!
