I have a huge problem. When my ex and I were together we invested on a catering business. When we broke up we had to split our stuffs and stop the business. I want to continue it and this time on my own but he wouldn't let me have a fair share. 75% of my stuffs are still with him. I want to get those back but he said that he wants those too.
I was even thinking of talking to his dad to convince him to talk to his son to return my share. I wasn't able to do it and months have passed. Now I'm thinking to jut ell al my share to him since he wouldn't let me have mine.
Care for your thoughts?

It is always sad when these things cannot be resolved amicably. Of course the best solution is prevention and to have the separation agreement in writing before you go in to business together, but you cannot change the past.
Perhaps there is a way of exchanging value rather than money? Perhaps the customer list can be split as well so you could start up separately in the same field?
Perhaps you might want to do something different? perhaps you could try mediation?
Best of luck. Remember that money is not everything. is it worth fighting over this or just move on with your life.

True! That's why when he won't cooperate I stopped insisting of getting my things back. My mom told me that I can always buy a new set. I guess she's right I wouldn't go through the hassle of getting a lawyer and going through those trials since it was a mutual decision to come up with that business. I still believe in Karma.

i don't think you have to consider that as a huge problem if you're already over with your ex. what you need to do is yes, just sell everything to him. tell him since he doesnt even care of giving back what is yours, he should just pay for it. in this case, there's nothing to worry anymore. i don't agree to you talking to his dad. it's a total nonsense. you have to deal with it, the 2 of you. i dont think his dad can help. you can even sue him if you want just to get your stuff back. anything that's yours and with another possession without your approval is considered illegal.
