What are my rights if I leave my family business?

I'm tired of answering to my father who runs our company like a dictatorship. I run the day-to-day operations and own a percentage of the company.

If you are an owner of a business and are not happy about the way it's being run, you have several options:

- Offer to buy out the other owners so that you can stay on board.
- Make an offer to be bought out and leave.
- Bring a court proceeding and possibly dissolve the company.

如果伴随矩阵y has a shareholders' or operating agreement that outlines the rights of owners, you should follow the procedures set out in the document.

如果没有书面协议,唯一的方法buy out or get bought out is to reach an agreement with your father. Yet, your description of him doesn't make him sound too agreeable.

At that point, your only recourse will be to bring a lawsuit in court to declare what you're entitled to and to value the company. Depending on the strength of the company, you may find that you could end up spending more in attorneys' fees than the value of your interest is worth.

It's best to consult with a local attorney know understands these issues to develop a strategy and get an estimate of the costs involved.
