Two people in Florida started a business. One partner's mother was willing to offer a $100,000 loan to support the business, provided that both partners guaranteed the entire loan. They both signed separate, personal guaranty agreements.
A year later the business is not working out as intended, and one of the partners wants to leave the business. He is willing to pay $50,000 to pay off his share of the loan, but is worried that the other partner will choose not to pay -- the loan was provided by the other partner's mother. He is concerned that the mother might come after him for the full $100,000 rather than trying to make her son pay back any portion of the loan. Would that be possible?
