My partner and I had a dispute and now he has blocked me from the business. Most of the business is in my name (lease, License, Bonds, Insurance). What can I do to stop this from happening
The first thing to do is look at the partnership agreement, or if none, then default under the Florida law on partnerships. You do not indicate % for each, but assuming 50-50, then you have equal rights to all. The time may be upon you to seek to dissolve the partnership or work out a buyout. Much also depends upon the structure of the business, the agreement as to management and compensation, and capital investments. What you should do, is immediately consult an attorney and pay for legal advice and representation to help you to obtain the best possible outcome, or assist in negotiating a resolution before things result in litigation and further financial harm.
