Legal Question in Business Law in New York
� I am staring a coaching business that is based upon my life work, and academic background.
� My Ex, a very smart SM marketer wants 25% share in my company, a startup, and if he leaves I do not have to pay him any money but he still hold 25% stake.
� I am offering him 25% of the company income as long as he is working it, but he declines.
� If he leaves and I do want to get rid of his share entirely, what options do I have?

I don't really understand your question entirely. Any entity you set up either yourself or with a business partner should be supported by a written agreement like say the operating agreement of an LLC. In this document it will spell out rights and obligations of the members. There is no "one-way" to do this.
Before you take any action, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
