This is why the contract should have been contingent on the marriage staying in place. The clause should have read along the lines of “if the marriage dissolves the daughter becomes full owner of the company”. Divorce is a real thing and you should always assume that a marriage could end in divorce. This asset was not the son in law’s and should have only been given to the daughter in the first place. Depending on the situation of course.

[@frix8773]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that. The ex has 50% of the shares, he has rights. You can't just decide to not pay him because you feel like it. As a CEO you do have a fiduciary responsibility towards all the shareholders, even if they are your ex. He can and will bring this to court and when the other attorney sees this clip and sees you guys plotting to "starve him out", he will walk away with a hell of a lot more than you think.

In a partnership, each partner has a separate equity account. The company’s net income gets split into those accounts, and what’s in his account is his. Some partnership agreements state that your share of the company changes depending on how much is still in your account, but I doubt this one does. He might be able to get the divorce court judge to dissolve this partnership, but that would probably sink the company. Either way, it’s a nasty court battle ahead.

[@carllennen3520]

Youre making an awful lot of assumptions, with barely any information to do so. All anyone knows, is what this man is saying, and hes not even a first hand. He only knows what his daughter is telling him, and who knows if shes telling him the truth. For all anyone knows, the daughter is insane, and the ex husband is saving his own life getting out of this marriage, or he could be the a$$hole. The point is, you dont, and cant, know. Obviously, this man has been a part of growing this company, or the father wouldnt have been comfortable selling the entire company to them, knowing he would be 50% owner. To try and "choke him out", is morally and ethically, disgusting. Whether hes the Ahole or not, hes helped the company become what it is, and is 50% owner, and is entitled to get his half. Buying him out, is not only the ethical thing to do in this situation, it would be beneficial for them in the long run. The wife gains 100%, or the 49/51 split with the father, and they make the buyout money back within 3 years, and keep the whole thing within 5. Ramseys advise is short sighted, and not based in facts. Only this mans opinion, and that opinion might be skewed by the man himself. You shouldnt be so quick to cheer Ramsey on, when hes making some serious mistakes in giving advise publicly, regarding the split of assets in a marriage that isnt dissolved yet. That shows some basic failures in decision making on Ramseys part. He should have kept this one off YT, or at the very least, chosen his words, and his advise, much more carefully, considering the subject matter.

Fraud.

[@barnabusdoyle4930]

That would be highly illegal and probably the worst way to play this out. The judge could easily see that the company doesn’t have the liquid assets to buy him out. He’s making a request to cash out his side of the company, and without knowing much about the company and what he’s put into it, you can’t value the company. This would have to go through a very different proceeding as the divorce and should be settled separately. This is the argument to make in court while the company starts to figure out how to buy him out.

[@kathrynm.6383]

You and I don't always agree on matters of marriage, relationships, and politics, but thank you for giving this advice. There are a lot of women who don't have any men, let alone fathers, who will fight for them when they have been wronged by other men and, in cultures like this one, the battlefield is often skewed in their favor no matter what they've done and they know it. Sometimes they are so used to us not having fathers, brothers, and other men who will fight for us, it can be a heck of a lot of fun to remind them that isn't always the case.

[@rickyrick9501]

He doesn't fully own the company half. He is making payments don't forget. You can't sell a business you don't fully own. In this case his half is not fully paid. The courts will make an evaluation of what they earned in the four years and the buy out will be according to those numbers. Couple hundred thousand at best. Business was not evaluated so it will be professionally evaluated and the number will come from there.

[@rickyrick9501]

Now if the business has become more profitable from year one to year four. A new current evaluation will need to be performed and the profits will be considered in the buyout.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

"You can't sell a business you don't fully own." - you absolutely can. What the stupid argument - all you have to do is clear the debt as part of the sale. I.e. he gets 5 million into escrow and part of those repay the loan.

[@Ka_Gg]

We still need to take a step back and remember that this is from the father's point of view. There are two sides to every story. I still don't understand how in 2023, you can just give something to a son or daughter-in-law without even thinking about divorce and what happens after

[@montezuma6962]

There is her side, his side, and the truth. One of the greatest transfers of wealth in the U.S. is through divorce. Women have been doing it to men for a few generations, and it's one of the reasons fewer people are choosing marriage.

[@barnabusdoyle4930]

Most people are delusional enough to think marriage is a permanent protection. Ramsey pushes marriage like it will never end in divorce. My advice to people is to assume that all marriages end in divorce. Never become financially dependent on another person. Always have a separate account with a decent amount of money in it. Always be ready to come home to an empty house.

[@davinasquirrel7672]

The SIL was having affairs.

[@tomw485]

In Dave’s defense he’s advising this man who called in. He’s not talking to the SIL. He’s not a judge trying to figure out fair payout he’s trying to advise this guy to get the most advantageous position for him and his daughter. On the flip side there are 2 sides to every story. It’s possible the ex SIL was a good guy and driven to divorce because his wife was awful to him. Maybe she mistreated him driving him to divorce and then as president she immediately fired him. Maybe this guy calling in was a total a-hole and mistreated his SIL. That’s all possible… seems rather unlikely though. My impression is that the SIL was cheating, is now with the other woman, still lazy and unemployed and just trying to get his gravy train out of his ex’s family business. If I were a betting man I bet that is what happened. But I’ll concede that it’s totally possible that’s not how it played out. I don’t particularly like Dave though. He’s an evangelical control freak who gets way overly involved in his employee’s lives. He also has very dogmatic ideas and biases that I disagree with. That all being said I think he does have a good program for people struggling with debt. I do think he helps people that need it. But there’s a lot about him I’m not particularly fond of

There's nothing to split. In the case of a home, it's owned jointly and sold when one spouse can't buy the other half. The business would only need to be sold if the couple owned everything jointly, but in this case it's already split 50/50.

[@shes_infinity6943]

People will listen to anyone with a platform and assume he’s an expert…Unfortunately this advice Ramsey is offering doesn’t work for may reasons. 1.The SIL still has equal say about reinvesting earnings and the daughter paying herself more can be considered self dealing/shareholder oppression/violation of fiduciary duty. 2. Reinvesting earnings may lower CF and valuations in the ST but in the LR it actually increase valuation so this doesn’t lower her buy out cost. He can just choose to sell after 1-2 years still

What about Alimony? She won’t have to pay him any alimony?

[@edennis8578]

In my state, it's almost impossible to get alimony because both parties have to agree to it. In the US in general, the spouse usually has to be unable to work or have no income by other means, like investments.

@@edennis8578 what state you from

[@joemallette4729]

I find it interesting that when a man leaves a relationship he is assumed to be the bad guy and when a woman leaves a relationship the guy is assumed to be the bad guy. I don’t know these people, but I have no reason to automatically believe that the son-in-law didn’t have a good reason to leave the marriage. Of course the wife’s father is gonna paint him in a bad light. He might be awful, but damn lots of assumptions.

How do we know daughter and son and law aint playing long game to scam the dad?

[@swannyriver75]

Sorry but dad should have been smart and put the business in the daughter's name only married or not and if the son in law decides to stay he's an employee only

[@MrBeats44]

Let’s not pretend that the Wife is 100% innocent in the failed Marriage

[@leahwhiteley5164]

This man is an idiot. He should have had his llc sells the company to the daughters LLC ONLY and had the Son In Law run it. Then as an employee they could have fired him when he walked out on her. If he was only an employee he might not be able to touch the business.

[@butchthurman4685]

From listening to Dave a bit. He willing to scrw the men more than the women.

[@rogerhoward1900]

Try that in the real world

[@aliyusuf2386]

It looks like this poor guy is screwed by his ex wife, ex father-in-law plus Dave Ramsey😢😮😅

[@zookini]

Clearly Dave has no idea how divorce court works

[@saulgoodman2018]

Or the law.

[@edennis8578]

Divorce laws vary from state to state. Since the business is already split 50/50, I don't see where the court will have anything to say about it. As my divorce lawyer explained it to me, marriage is a financial contract, legally. A divorce splits the assets of the marriage. Since the business is already 50/50, there's nothing for a divorce court to do.

[@d.b.4910]

Couldn’t the son-in-law sell his half to someone else?

[@TheOffGridHunter]

Problem is the father in law sold. This guy legit owns 50%. He will be able to force liquidation

[@israelrivers8280]

Man this call woke up the Papa Bear 🐻 in Dave. ❤

[@filleeepehtehhehduh4050]

What did the daughter do? That’s the question

[@JoeJoe-tg3ed]

The father should have retained the unpurchased shares. Or just kept in in a trust . What kind of lawyer did he have? A real estate attorney?

[@zachwarren280]

Tell the caller to secure his goddamn dentures or put down the jar of peanut butter or both.

[@jimmymcgill6778]

So Dave is telling him how to embezzle money? See how that works in a court?

[@marshallj2415]

Talk on the street was the daughter is a gambling addict with a sex addiction. Seriously.

[@saulgoodman2018]

He sold it to them. They each owe 50/50. The father cannot legally do anything, he is not the owner. Hiding money from the judge is illegal. What he is telling him to do, is also illegal. He owns half if it, she can't withhold his pay. This guy have a contract. It legally says he owns half of it. How do you know the daughter didn't call it quits?
