Ethanol Firm Agrees Govt Joint Venture

What Is A Joint Business Venture? In short, I started an online business about 18 months ago and it is now going quite well.

The only thing is I am 18 and not much of a business man, so when someone say “we could eventually sign a joint venture”, I have no idea what that means.

Lets say my company is called: Yahoo (Not giving real name incase this question shows in Search Engine).

I have Yahoo but it is not making much money, then a person comes along and says hey, great site, but your not making any money, I can make you money. I say okay great we will split all the cash that you bring in 50/50.

They say great, we can one day sign a joint venture.

Does that mean I still own the business, but they get 50% of the whole income, only the income they make or they also would own 50% of the business.

Thanks, just want to check what it actually means before start talking about it again lol. Thanks!

Can We Get The Judge Replaced? My husband has been going through a custody battle for 2 years. Over a year ago, his ex signed a motion to move court counties, which he agreed to, not knowing that the judge was a family-friend.

Ever since then, things have been AWFUL. My husband is a good man-has a steady job, a stable household, etc. His ex, on the other hand is a horrible person, and she knows it. She’s had questionable jobs, she had a baby last year with a married man, she has no actual home other than living with her baby daddy with 4 kids in a 3 bedroom house, and she can barely keep a job.She has kept my husband’s son from him multiple times, going against the decree they signed-she kept him for 3 whole months last summer without so much as a phone call.

She keeps getting into all these contempts, but the judge just dismisses them. All he did to make up the time with his son was to add a weekend on every month.

But, she tries to bring things in front of the judge to make him look like he’s in contempt of court, and he always gets punished. For instance, he’s having the state just take out child support from his paychecks instead of us just giving her a check. She goes to the judge and tells him that he isn’t paying child support. Stuff like that.

Recently, she filed for a motion to terminate joint custody, which would mean he would still pay child support but he would never see his child again. Along with that, she told the judge that he doesn’t have insurance (which he does, with my work), so the judge, without trial, just had them garnish his wages for $160 a month for insurance. (He’s also on the state’s insurance, which is also insurance fraud on her part).

We keep thinking she’s done, but she never is. It’s one thing after the other. All she has to do is call the judge on his personal cell phone and say what she wants to get my husband in trouble, and he approves it on the spot, and doesn’t even charge her any fees.

This time around we have court in August, this time it’s an actual trial. We fired our old, completely worthless lawyer and hired a new one. We have a whole box FULL of photographic evidence, paper work, texts, medical bills, videos, timelines, etc against his ex. Honestly, if it were any other judge they would have 50/50 custody, at least, and I’d venture to say he’d have full custody. She’s not a fit mother at all.

Our new lawyer said that she can ask him to resign from this case because it’s a conflict of interest, and if he doesn’t resign, he’ll be forcefully removed and replaced, but we just don’t think it’ll be that easy. We filed against the judge to the judge bar association, and the declined it. Is there anything else we can do? Mind you, this judge will mention her family from the pulpit-he’s mentioned her Grandpa, Uncle, Father, Grandpa’s brother, and even her mom. Does it EVERY time.
“I want to blame the perceived relationship”?
The judge HIMSELF has stated that my husband is the better parent. The judge HIMSELF has made about 15 references to her family while in court. The judge HIMSELF has greeted (while trial was happening) her uncle coming into the court room late.

This “perceived” relationship. Again, when we had another judge, things weren’t going HER way, they saw right through all her b.s. and lies, that’s why SHE switched courts.
