Partnership

Hi my wife and I got into a partnership business with another couple, It was his idea to start this business. We bought a concession trailer and sell hamb and hotdogs and things. The verbal agreement was to pay 50/50 I borrowed $10,000 from my mother to purchase the trailer and he was supposed to pay the other $5,000 in a couple of weeks. Well that came and went. His wife asked my wife if it would be ok if we all worked together to pay the $10,000 back which meant that we work for free and all profit goes to payback the loan. We each spent an additional $4,000 each to start up the business, which we paid ourselves back first. My problem is that our partners are so irresponsible that they cannot even make time to go to the bank and open an account with us. So we opened a bank account in our names. The trailer is also registered in our name. So the problem is that our partners are not helping with maintenance of the trailer or the cleaning after an event and starting this year not working the business as much as we are,
I schedule all the events pay all the bills and do all the accounting and tax preparation myself. All these people do is show up to work sometimes. My question is can I just tell them the partnership is not working out and take full control over the business ourselves? We have no partnership agreement in writing everything is verbal and all assets are in our name. These are friends of ours or used to be friends of ours after this takes place. I know don't ever go into a partnership with friends and if you do put everything in writing, A tough lesson to learn. - Is this your question? Add additional information
