Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

I co-own a business and recently discovered that my business partner has been making distribution payments to herself, while no payments have been made to me. I know this is not ethical or legal and want to know what actions I should take?

First, have a discussion. Have you done that yet? Then see a lawyer to resolve any disputes and work out an agreement for these and other matters. Otherwise, see a lawyer to dissolve the relationship.

It depends on the documents of your business. Consult with a local attorney.
