What to do if I created a partnership with a woman to start a website and she now wants to dissplve it?
The website never made money. Our partnership agreement ran out 23 months ago. We verbally agreed to keep working on it and investing in it up until 6 months ago with the hopes of monetizing it. She quit 2 months prior to that and no longer wanted to put money into it or any work. She would not renegotiate the balance of the partnership to address her quitting while I did not want to quit. I did not want to walk away from my $10,000 investment just because she no longer wanted to work or invest in it. Now she is insisting that I must de solve the company including the name/logo or pay her $10,000 (her share of the total investment). She quit and walked away. Do I have to de solve the company?

I suggets that you consult with a business attorney where you can dissolve the partnership you have written about and buy out your partner. By doing such you would be free to continue your venture on your own as you seem to wish to do.
