Corporate Law shared business

[sue10]

My jurisdiction is: UK

My spouse and I have run a business together for the last 15 yrs, we became a limited company some years ago, my husband has 51% and i have 49%, he has decided to take the business off me as we are going through a divorce, and is now wanting to take all paperwork, accounts, and office equipment, what rights do I have as a minority shareholder?

As a minority shareholder, you're in a difficult position and I don't know where you are incorporated and assume it's in the UK. However, want is different than can. What rights are defined in the bylaws? Is there any part that deals with dissolution or buyout rights?
