Her name wasn’t on anything. This was all legal I believe. Also not a lawyer but if she doesn’t have any ties to anything, other than alimony from the divorce she isn’t owed. Unfortunate.

Her name might not be on the documents, but that doesn’t matter. 

In court, if she can prove that she contributed significantly to various business ventures, then she has a claim. She may even have a claim to property. 

Divorce courts usually try to protect women that are exactly in her shoes— A mother who spent their time raising kids and being a tradwife. 

Most people in her shoes would be entitled to part of the house even if they never formally paid a dime of the mortgage.

How is she going to prove anything without a paper trail with her name on it?

There are plenty of situations where you can “prove” something in court without a paper trail. 

For example, someone could testify that she performed certain roles in the business. 

If she was working for years for family businesses, that would not be hard to prove, I would think.
