Hello BayAreaResident: I'm sorry I'm not going to be able to offer any advice with regard to this. Hopefully other members, here on PC, will be able to do so. From my perspective, this may simply be a situation for which you're going to need to seek legal advice from an attorney in your area.
I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral... from the Skeezyks!

I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.
