A spouse who joined the family business, and now everyone asks what his part is worth

A typical situation: invented, with no names.

The situation

After the wedding, the daughter's husband joined the family insurance agency and built a large book of clients. Now they are separating, and the family asks what he is owed and what stays.

What is on the table

The clients he brought; whether he stays on, and on what terms; and keeping the business dispute apart from the divorce.

How we would go about it

We mediate the business only; the divorce stays with each person's lawyer. A call alone with him too, because he is a chair at the table as well.
