Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

If you planned to start a business and put up money, you hopefully did not do so without the completely necessary step of retaining a lawyer who drafted a proper partnership agreement including language of how to dissolve the partnership. The cost of that was very small, and it will serve you well now as your answer is there. Since we have not read that document, we can't tell you what it says, and if you are unsure of how to interpret its terms, call the lawyer who represented you to write it.

(If you did something totally wrong and did things orally and with a handshake and no lawyer, plan to spend a great deal more on a lawyer to advise you at this point and defend you in some likely very expensive litigation).

That depends on whether there was some form of agreement, if you took steps to begin the formation of the company with your partner, whether your partner agreed to not be a part of the company, and other facts not presented. Cases like this are very fact-sensitive, so you should speak with a local business attorney to be sure.
