I run a large farm, and in order to do so, a company was set up, and my wife and I are directors. We recently have been going through difficulties, and we are considering living separately. The farm is my livelihood, and my wife was not involved in the day-to-day running of the farm but did assist me with some administration work regarding paying contractors and dealing with our accountant. What are my options, and is the farm at risk?
