what is the process of dissolving a business partnership in CA state

I want out of Business Partnership: My husband, his son and myself are partners in a plumbing business. It was sole prior but as soon as my husband recieved social security he made us partners so all the income would be under me. We just seperated and I want out of the business. I don't want to be liable for the taxes anymore. There really is no assets to be split up infact we owe 2 years of back taxes. How do I go about getting my name off the partnership? Can just him and his son be on it or do they have to reapply for a new bus lic and new lic number and name? According to our taxes I own 50% and they own 25% each

I would need to know more about the partnership practices and more specific information in order to give you the type of advise that could prove useful. As a general answer, you can either (1) dissolve the partnership; (2) sell your interest in the partnership; (3) give notice to the creditors: (4) give notice to the public at large; and (5) seek specific legal counsel with specific facts. You can send us an email at businesslawcenter@earthlink.net for more information.
