As long as you aren't involved with the business your father owns, you aren't violating your non-compete agreement. However, if you even try to discuss the operations with your father, you will be violating it and will be held accountable for the breach of contract. Although the burden of proof of non-compete agreement violations lies on the employer, few secrets stay secrets during discovery. Don't try to be the wise guy covering up the tracks as that will aggravate your position in the court when it comes down to it. |
