More details to this question:
I'm thinking about separating my position from my employer due to harassment and bullying from an assistant ownership. Senior ownership has been aware of the situation and has not taken corrective actions for years. If I leave, my financial obligations will be damned.

Unless the harassment and bullying is because of your age, race, gender, pregnancy, disability, religion, etc, then you do not have a legal claim. Unfortunately employers can be jerks and employees cannot do anything unless they can prove the basis of the harassment and bullying is unlawful.
