Re: Partner - payment owed

The reason you're not getting any response to your question is that we don't understand it; the wording is very confusing because your pronouns "he" "him" and "his" can, at any one instance, apply to either your husband or the partner. If we don't know whom you're talking about, we can't respond appropriately.

Please resubmit your question, and do NOT use the words "he", "him" or "his" anywhere in your text; spell out "my husband" or "the partner" at every occurrence. You can copy and paste the question and just replace those words with the name ("husband" or "partner") of the person you mean. I know this is a pain, but it will help the attorneys on this board, who are not mind-readers, to understand your story and respond appropriately.

Understand that the appropriate answer may very well be that you need to speak with an attorney.

Please accept my sympathy for the death of your husband.
