Although it has also been suggested in the context of business/divestiture, I'm not so sure the verb "desinvestir" would be appropriate; it appears to be more common in Portuguese (than in Spanish).

divestiture (dî-vès´tî-cher, -ch¢r´, dì-) noun
1. An act of divesting.
2. The sale, liquidation, or spinoff of a corporate division or subsidiary.

Hola Jesús,

Si ya no lo ha hecho, échele un vistazo al enlace de proz; es de una pregunta KudoZ (del mismo verbo "divest"). Espero que sirva.

Saludos y suerte!
