It appears that you will need to bring a suit to determine the division of your interest in the business as a going concern. Typically, in the situation you are at, filing a complaint with the Circuit Court alleging the various legal claims available to you under the circumstances would be the next step. Sometimes you can obtain a resolution in mediation after your lawsuit is filed, but if not settlement is reached, you will likely need to have a trial on your claims based on the oral nature of your arrangement. McKean Smith attorneys Collin McKean, Sonia Montalbano, and David Rocker regularly assist clients in dissolving business interests and liquidating claims against the business such as your claims.
