So I am wondering, will she be legally in trouble for having my buisness under her name and filing for unemployment? We live in the New York area. I am doing all the work and stuff just under her name so the buisness can be made

Hi, I live in Upstate New York and we have, or should I say had a storage unit. We had the storage unit for about 3 years and had been making payments every year. A few days ago we went to put something in storage and found the lock had been cut and changed. We were just there in July-ish to get... Read more »
