Legal Separation
Categories: Incorporation
Divorce. It's never pretty. At least not as pretty as the new girlfriend.
When it happens, usually there's the day he or she moves out. At that time, a legal snapshot is taken of the combined partnership's assets, and it is from that launchpad that the lawyers go to work, trying to create conflicts so that they can bill as many hours as possible to the fighting couple.
What? The lawyers are capitalists just like everyone else. And yeah, yeah...lawyers can twist ethical arguments to run any way they want. They're trained to do so, in fact.

machine. well a partnership is just the merging
of two individuals in doing a given business deal or setting up a business
structure. if both are owners then both are liable for you know bad things
should they happen. partnerships carry a lot of financial danger if one partner
goes off the rails and decides to commit fraud in the name of the company or that
evil partner enters into a stupid company bankrupting contract, well then [bad contract sold to unsuspecting victim]
both parties pay for it. the innocent partner pays just as much in the form of
whatever financial damages befall the partnership as the evil one, and
partnership liabilities include personal assets if the partnership is structured
like a general partnership with limited partners having no personal liability so [ liability structures defined]
for all the good that a partnership can have it can get bad and ugly so you got
to enter partnerships carefully. spend lots of dough on lawyers before you set
it up so you don't have to after. [money exchanged for partnership contract ]
