When someone who owns a business becomes involved in a nasty divorce, everything that the couple has worked for can instantly be put in a position of risk.  This risk not only directly affects the spouses and any children of the marriage, but it can also extend to the employees of the business that one of the spouses owns.  That potential risk has played out in an ongoing Manteca divorce case that now threatens the financial stability of dozens of families of employees.

This California divorce case involves the Manteca Auto Plaza, which is an auto dealership that sells GMC and Buick vehicles.  The divorce case began in 2005, and as the battle has continued, the owner’s wife and her attorneys have been attempting to obtain what they feel they are owed from the marital estate.  Therefore, the situation came to a head when attorneys succeeded in having the corporate accounts of the auto dealership frozen.  As a result, approximately 150 new vehicles had to be returned because of a lack of cash at the dealership.

In addition, it has become quite possible that the dealership will not survive.  The business employs at least 50 people, and many of these people who had nothing to do with the California divorce proceedings are now facing the possibility of losing their main source of income.  Efforts are being made to remove the freeze on the account, but that result is far from a given.
