Most family fueds end in spats that fizzle out and everyone gets back on track being family.
With Paul Teutul Sr. and Jr., it’s a little bit different.
If you remember at the front of season 6 of American Chopper, the Pauls’ got into it and the son was fired.
Paul Sr. filed a lawsuit against Paul Jr. to determine just how much he has to pay Paul Jr..
To be exact, it’s to get an appraiser to value the company, and to have injunction brought against Paulie to not engage in competitive business tactices or to interfere with the business relationships with suppliers. Paulie has started up his own business called Paul Jr. Designs.
At this point, Sr. is asking for a million in damages from Paulie.
It’s a sad family squabble that makes it to this stage of legal battle.

I hope senior doesn’t get a dime. I hope it costs him dearly. I loved watching this show because of the designs they came up with for the choppers.
I found the constant arguing a bit of a distraction. Most of the time I thought it was faked. That it was done to spark interest. Because, people cannot avert their eyes from an accident.
When it become apparent that the family angst was all too real, the show lost its appeal. Haven’t watched it since the Dubai episode last year.
I hope it fades into TV history like “Jon and Kate plus 8″.
