That's a really neat strategy for ownership! Did you write the contract that you use? Any interest in sharing it?

I've seen this a couple of times.

Basically the "legal" way is to just "buy them out" as the company isn't worth all that much and you've done most (all) the work. If the partner is someone decent, you'll arrive at a number that makes sense for both of you.

The other way is a lot more spicy: just do it and one day they will sue you. Maybe.
