A:
I'm sorry you're facing this situation. Start by gathering all available records of the business transactions, including contracts, invoices, and any communications related to payments. Document the discrepancies you've noticed over the past six months to have a clear picture of what's happening.
Next, request a formal meeting with your brother-in-law to discuss your concerns openly. Present the evidence you've collected and ask for a transparent review of the finances. If he continues to refuse access to paychecks and bills, it might be necessary to involve other stakeholders or partners in the business to address the issue collectively.
If the situation doesn't improve, consider seeking legal advice to understand your options and protect your interests. You may need to explore terminating the agreement or taking legal action to recover the missing funds. Taking these steps can help ensure that your business is managed fairly and transparently.
