Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

This sounds to me like a vote by one venturer to dissolve, though the vote could have been expressed in a better way. Ideally, your agreement will describe what happens after the venture is dissolved. For example, how are assets divided, etc. You had the foresight to provide for dissolution if either venturer no longer wanted to participate. Now that one joint venturer has chosen not to participate, you need to decide what you want. You can't force the other venturer to participate against his will. Is it enough to be compensated for your interest in the joint venture? Have you asked your former partner about it?
