I am in the process of getting my company off the ground. I currently live in Michigan and in Michigan veterans do not have to pay any fee's for forming an LLC. Now about me, I just returned home from being deployed overseas almost 2 years ago. Soon as I returned home I had my wedding. Now after being married for coming up on two years I am getting ready to start my business that I have had for a long time "Officially". (Before it was just my idea and I worked on it here or there, but now I am actually getting it ready to be real) The past 2 years of marriage have been tough, which is scary being that its been rough and it has only been 2 years. I am not currently in any way shape or form getting ready for a divorce and I still love my wife very much. However at the same time, I want to protect my business since I have been putting a lot of work into it for a very long time. So my main question is, I know that by forming an LLC it seperates myself from the business to protect me in times of distress (being sued, mal practice..etcc whatever bad things happen like that) so I do not lose everything. I want to know what steps I need to take so that my business is not only protected from the things mentioned above, but that my business assets are protected if I ever have a divorce. I Do not want to someday get a divorce and have my spouse attempt to take half of my company. I know forming the LLC is the first step since it is too late for a Pre-nuptial aggrement. I still want to be the sole owner and manager of my business, I just want the LLC so my business assets are protected. and so things like My computers and other things used for my business are protected and will not be used in determing what is equal between our property. Thank you
