You can take legal action against the partner who is acting against the other partner and not acting in the best interests of the partnership. Do you have a WRITTEN partnership agreement? If not, you should look at AZ Revised Statutes to find the rules that apply to partnerships. The partnership agreement or state law should determine how decisions are made by the partners, and if it is a general partnership, then either partner can act for and bind the partnership with regard to other parties. You should consult with an attorney asap and learn what your rights, duties and obligations are in this business and what you can do to preserve the business and the partnership, or get your partner to buy you out, or dissolve the partnership.
