Re: Family Internet business

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

A cease and desist letter should be sent to your son-in-law if he has copied any proprietary information not otherwise available. If he fails to heed this warning, the only avenue would be to address the problem with litigation.

If you cannot resolve this matter on your own, it appears that you will need the assistance of an attorney.

If the business is incorporated, you will be required to use an attorney as none of the owners can represent the corporation in a court of law.
