Constructive Ownership/Spousal attribution

Not my best topic, I may have my terms wrong.

Husband and wife each own their own separate companies.

Wife provides accounting services for husband's business, but does not take a paycheck. Here business is not accounting, it's just that she's the one who's good at numbers. She signs off on documents.

Does this make these two companies one control group, or attribute some kind of joint ownership?

If she signs off on documents for husbands business, can we assume she is an employee of husbands business, just without a paycheck?

RBG - That's what I believe.

The inquiry here though is not about plan coverage, but about litigation and bankruptcy exposure to wife's business.

That seems to be outside the scope of this board's expertise.
