LLC Member Disputes and Business Divorce in New Jersey
When co-owners disagree about control, money or exit, the operating agreement is where the answer starts.
Control, money or exit
Disagreements between co-owners usually come down to who makes decisions, how money is distributed, or how someone leaves. The operating agreement, if there is one, sets the starting rules. New Jersey law fills the gaps.
The goal is a decision made on the economics and the documents, with a realistic view of cost and timing. Outcomes depend on the facts, the agreements and the other side's position, and no particular result can be promised.
