The /biz/ answer would be something along the lines of a cost-benefit analysis, only looking at the financial aspect.
You, as a shareholder in the company of the marriage, hold rightful ownership of some of the assets and likely some of the obligations to liabilities.
To calculate the cost/benefit to your equity position for each choice, you should, in the instance of staying together, make projected journal entries for transactions such as mortgage debt service expense, education expense, employment revenue, etc. and try to project about 5 years out, and generate the three statements for the end of each of those years. That'll give you a concrete idea of what your shareholder net income and position trends will be, and you can decide if that's a life you'd be happy with.
For if you were to split, you could write it as a demerger spinoff, where the parent company splits into two. This is a bit more work than just the journal entries of the first trial, it'll be a bit more involved. Remember to work in any obligations that one company is likely to hold on the other and any fees associated with the consulting and execution of the spinoff company, as well as how company assets and liabilities will be distributed. You'll be the sole shareholder of the new company, but you'll need to calculate how your I/S and B/S have changed to see if you like this life more than the other.
It's a lot of work and might seem silly, but if you put serious thought and effort into the process, when you're done you'll have the most concrete intuition and answer possible. good luck!
