There are many potential problems, as others have noted. There are many reasons why this could go pear-shaped. But without knowing the people involved and the exact details of your situation, none of us could really say what is good and what is bad in your particular case.
The fact that it is taxable to your ex is not necessarily a problem -- it may be cheaper to structure it with enough to compensate her for the tax she would have to pay, than it would be to pay child maintenance out of your after tax income. It partly depends on whether she has other income. Just be aware that the tax hit she'll have needs to be reflected, and that you don't want to leave her short of what she needs to take care of your children.
If things are that amicable between you that you think having her as a shareholder of your company is a good idea, then perhaps you should consider trying to mend your relationship enough that you can stay together. If you can treat each other with respect and consideration, that would be better for the children (and the finances, for that matter). If you can't treat each other well, you'd best not try to be business partners.Comment
