What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin.
Family business restaurant has been in business for over 50 years, founded by my great grandmother. When she died, it was split between my grandmother and great-aunt (1/2 each). When my grandmother died, the business split between the great-aunt (1/2 of business) and my grandmother's two daughters, my mother and my aunt (1/4 for each of them). My mother is on her death bed; soon it will be my great-aunt, aunt, and I will inherit my mother's fourth.
The issue is, my great-aunt is an alcoholic. Shows up to work intoxicated, manipulates, starts fights, shrugs work off onto business partner, treats business partner as kitchen help - who she treats very poorly. She is ruining the business and causing customers to leave, because she is drunk on the job (she acts as a hostess and a bare-minimum waitress). I will soon inherit my mother's half and want her out.
She refuses to seek counseling and trying to confront her about her issues results in her making personal attacks, making up lies and lots of swearing. She is very controlling, and in the end, all business decisions come down to her way and her way only. As a result, we have many poor, under-performing workers who don't take their job seriously.
I would like to sue her, but my aunt is too passive for that and we are still taking care of my mom who will die soon.
