I don’t know what types of equity compensation my wife has at her start-up, what documents should I ask for in a divorce?

The document that you are looking for in order to determine what type of stock award your spouse has been given is called an Equity Compensation Plan Document. At the company level this is a document that applies to all employees. You will also want something called a Grant Notice, which describes the specific provisions of each grant given to the employee.

Last, you will want to ask for an Account Statement, which is a snap shot of where the employees accounts are today.
