Under the laws of all states in this country where there is a partnership dispute the corporations code of each state set forth how the dispute is to be resolved absent a written agreement to the contrary. Given the cease and desist request that you are writing about I suggest that you consult with a business attorney to see what can be done to resolve the situation by way of a buy out or a partnership dissolution.
