Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Contract Law

You have to read the contract in whole to make a proper determination. However, I don't see that he could do anything about it.

Re: Contract Law

Breaking up is hard to do.

Especially when there is an ongoing business and money involved.

You really should get a lawyer to advise you and guide you through this.

There are MANY more issues than just this demand from him. And I do not see how you telling customers etc. that you are leaving for personal reasons is harmful.

I do think you need to be concerned about making sure that you are not personally going to be liable for anything further for the business, for suppliers or unhappy customers, for taxes, for the landlord, or anyone else.

And what are you getting out of this business in which you were a partner?

Have a lawyer look over the contract. And get some advice before you jump.

Please call me if you would like me to assist you. I am in Hackensack, right across from the Bergen County Courthouse.
