What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
I started a business 4 yrs ago. We did not have a Buy-Sell Agreement. In the past year I have used my credit cards to purchase new equipment totally over $30,000. My partner would like to buy me out. We verbally discussed figures. Last week she presented me with a buy out. Out of the purchase price I am to take 20,000 of the debt. I had said a purchase price and the debt separate. I have tested the job market and can not find a job that pays what I am making here. That would be a financial hardship. Do I have to sign it since it is not what we agreed to? Can I tell her I do not wish to be bought out at this time and would like to wait until the job market is better?

You are not required to allow your partner to buy you out.
