Full question:
I have an LLC partnership in NJ, and need to finish it, as we have no business, and my partner fraudulently used my personal bank account in Miami to try paying his bills. I am afraid he could do more irregular things and have me involved. I live in Colombia, for what he did all the paperwork for the company, but I never signed any paperwork. How can I do this, and how much would it cost?

Answer:
If you want to dissolve your LLC partnership in New Jersey, you can petition the court for dissolution, especially if there is no buy-sell agreement in place. You may also have grounds to sue your partner for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, or other claims due to their actions.
According to New Jersey law, the Superior Court may decree dissolution of a limited liability company when it is not practical to continue the business as per the operating agreement (N.J. Stat. § 42:2B-49). Additionally, a limited partnership can be dissolved under certain conditions, such as when the fixed duration expires or by a majority vote (N.J. Stat. § 42:3-14).
It is advisable to consult a local attorney who can review your situation and provide guidance on the next steps and potential costs involved.
