What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NV

My wife and I started an LLC (50% each) 3 years ago. We created a dba (which I will call AAA) and we have been running the operations together.

6 months ago, I created a new dba company (which I will call BBB), which I registered under the same LLC.

My wife and I are now running into some personal problems that may lead to a divorce. Luckily we do not have a lot of assets, but I want to make sure that things are straightened out in case we do divorce.

My questions are as follow:

1) Can I create a new LLC (100% me), and transfer the dba BBB that I have been running all by myself for the past 6 months to that new LLC? If so, will she have any rights to that company after the divorce?

2) We own 2 cars that we use for business. One is in both our names, the second one is under my name only. I would like to transfer the second one to her name only (as it is actually her car but I bought it for her and at the time it was more convenient to put the title under my name), and I would like to keep the first car under my name only. If I do manage to transfer the titles into one name for each car, does that mean that if a divorce takes place, we would both have our own cars separated or does the law state that because we are married, it doesnt matter whose name is on the title and we would have to find a concensus?

Any thoughts appreciated. I am trying to make it smooth in case it hits the fan...
