Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Civil. Police will not usually interfere is there is a civil remedy, i.e. being able to sue him for breach of fiduciary duty, etc.

Civil.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answers. It most likely will be civil, but you could contact the police and let them know what has happened. They may investigate and possibly file charges, or they may not. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

Yes, it is civil. Unfortunately, this happens more often than what it should. A two signature check for amounts over $x may have prevented this problem. Is the company a true partership or company where each of you own a percentage? If it is a corporation or LLC, the company or LLC could sue your "partner" and his LLC.

If you want to discuss your options further, I am available at (770)367-1234 or [email protected]. I've handled simlar cases like this before. The biggest problem with these cases is collecting the judgment.
