How to defend yourself against a false case of misappropriation of funds?

Dear sir/madam,

I and my husband went into business together. I allowed him to run everything as I was working another full-time job and was taking care of our children.

He is now filing a lawsuit against me for misappropriation of funds while he was handling everything. Now that we are getting a divorce because he left me for one of our employees, he is trying to sue me and take everything wrongfully.

Is there anything I can do?

I was the majority owner in name but he ran everything and handled all the money and contracts.

Dear questioner,

If he was the manager at that time, he will be responsible. You can provide evidence that he was the manager and the one who handled the business.

I can show bank statements, but he has removed my access to the company server.

It is easy to sue him and you have the evidence and the witnesses.

Dear questioner,

You can prove that there is a family case and he is the manager of the funds and maybe counter-sue him.
