I've been in this position and it didn't go well. Definitely avoid this scenario in the future. You can ask but I wouldn't be too optimistic and the conversation may not go well and impact your relationship with your employer.

A long time ago I owned the domain name saintlouis.com and had started a site that somehow eventually came under the wing of my employer. Needless to say I didn't own the saintlouis.com domain when I left not long after.

As a follow up, you'd be better protected if you DID have an employment agreement and things were spelled out. By not having one in this situation it puts you in a bad spot. Here's some more information that discusses this type of scenario: http://labor-employment-law.lawyers.com/employment-contracts...

Thanks for the replies.

Did you ask for 50/50 or what? how did that discussion go for you?
