Re: Demanding 1/2 of Business Profits??

Co-owners have the right to seek partition of real property; I am assuming that the other non-resident owners filed a "complaint" for partition (a lawsuit), as a "change" of partition does not make sense. If you have been served with such a complaint you must file a legal response within thirty days of having been served. In some circmstances, it may be possible to claim profits from an on-going business conducted at premises of an owner not occupying the property. You really must go to an attorney, take the complaint, and spend some money getting specific advice; this is not something you can deal with over the intnernet.

Apparently you need an attorney to look at all documents, etc. Cannot respond reasonably without complete review.

The partition action should only concern the value and respective ownership interests in the property. It sounds like the other attorney is overstating his or her case. You should consult an attorney to defend your interests, especially if you get sued.
