Q: If you have a business with a partner that is 50/50 can you do anything if they won't let you get your half of the money
We had some type of agreement written up when we started the business and we both signed but I never read anything in there about that I could understand
A: It depends on the company documents and what they specify for resolving disputes. If a dispute cannot be resolved, then you can sue in court to terminate the company and distribute the assets between the two partners. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney who handles business litigation.
