An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, the least expensive option could be to direct your question to the instructor. That could be a safer approach than trying to interpret the language that creates concerns for you. Good luck
My partner and I share 50/50 of a business we just started. We are mere weeks away from our first sale and now his wife wants 4% ownership of the company, which they both expect me to give up 2% to her because she came up with the idea.

This really amounts to a small claim and I would not be worried about it and would print out the information that you sent prior to 60 days and my guess is they will do absolutely nothing about it.

I have a signed mediation agreement and now the other party will not sign the final order to go to the judge and her lawyer keeps changing the agreement after mediation is over.

If you are representing yourself you could file to enforce the mediated agreement. But there is not a form for that. If a final order was drafted by... View More

No. The Federal Rules of Evidence do not have a statute similar to O.C.G.A. 24-4-23. The closest would be FRE 301 but that would not likely help you in your specific circumstances.
