Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

I personally signed a non-compete clause many years ago for the company I am currently employed with. My question is, if a family member starts a similar business model, one in which my personal name has no attachment can my employer still attempt litigation against myself or the newly established company? I am assuming that because my name has no attachment then there is no legal justification.

Look at your non compete; they vary. Florida generally enforces them if not unconscionable: Patently unfair or overreaching. Read the restrictions, or have an attorney review the agreement. Your answers lie in the non compete agreement.
