Here's the signed and notarized page (signatures and names have been blurred.
It was signed by both my former business partner and myself as well as two witnesses and then notarized by a notary public. It's binding.
Not all of the terms are in the written agreement but the major ones are there.
It ended up costing me somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000 in cash and computer hardware. I have spent several hundred dollars more in buying replacement equipment for the internet account switchover which happened today. I also had to give up my claims of ownership to the partnership's main asset, and agree not to sue. For the next month give or take for a few hours a day, I also have to assist him in learning as much of my former job as possible. I am still unemployed.
So we have moved forward, but we still are going to need member support on a ongoing basis. But the most important thing is my title to Susan's is once again secure.
