Divorce settlement and unpaid work via /r/legaladvice


Divorce settlement and unpaid work

Hi, I am wanting to divorce my husband after 4 years of marriage. During these 4 years, I worked (unpaid) for my husbands company. We can’t reach a mutual agreement, and will be taking the proceedings to court. I am just wanting to know if I am likely to be compensated (in a way roughly equal to the hours worked) for the 4 years of unpaid work I did for his company (I can provide evidence I worked those 4 years without pay)? I should note, there was no formal agreement we made prior to me working unpaid – it was a gesture of good will on my behalf.
