My ex-business partner refuses to pay her half of the start up costs. As of right now we only have the website that we have invested in. Due to the fact that she has not paid me, we have decided to dissolve this partnership. What are my options to be able to get her to pay what she owes me?

Sue her. Depending on how much you are seeking, you can file a Warant in Debt in the General District Court for the county your business is located in, if it is for $25,000 or less. If it is more than $25,000 you have to file a Complaint in the Circuit Court.
