Other work and hiring related issues : working for a salary at father’s owned business

Fatawa Question

Please keep this question private and do not put it up on the net (email the answer to my email address above). In 1991, my father gave me the money to start a small business with my brother. My brother and I took the money and started a small business. It was a decent success. All thanks are due to Allah. My father put up all the money. My brother did the technical work and I managed the place. My brother and I took salaries. My father took money as needed (less than salary). Now I want to split from my brother and father. My father says that he has 10 children and I will only get 1 / 10th (one tenth) of the total amount the company is worth. I believe I deserve 1 / 3rd (one third). My first brother and I worked for 9 years. We have another brother who worked with us 3 years full time with salary. We do not have any prior agreement with father or brothers. Please advise. Thank you.
