I can’t imagine wanting to stay in business with an ex-husband.  Maybe it’s a sign of how my past romantic relationships panned out (yes, I eventually threw away the voodoo dolls) — with that level of unpleasantness and rancor, what’s to salvage through business?

But some people manage to make a go of it . . . at least for the time being.  My colleague, Jane Zalman of Zalman Family Business Solutions, was featured in a recent article of Fortune Small Business (go, Jane!), which was then picked up by CNNMoney.com.  She gives the feuding couple (of the case study) sound advice on ways to set boundaries and reduce the stress from not getting immediate feedback.
