A: You very likely need to get into Court (by filing a Complaint) and maybe get an injunction to stabilize operations and provide a full accounting. Business/partnership disputes are governed by the business' documents and usually, state law or the Uniform Partnership Act; it depends on how the company is structured and operated.
