Marry an American and give up 50% of your equity in the company?

LOL. Is it that difficult to marry an American nowadays, that you need to give up 1/2 your equity?

This is just one of any millions of potential solutions...

I was joking, but it's true that you are essentially giving up half your assets by getting married.

Most of the time, in the US, a divorce results in a 50/50 split of all assets. I thought that was an amusing thing to point out, others seem to disagree :-)
