Well, hope this helps. My dad was a test case in front of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the 70's. His employer at the time was trying to transfer him for the 7 time in 6 years. He had told them he was tired of moving and was not going to make another transfer since he had small kids and was trying to get them established in one area. He was a supervising manager for Orkin, and they had him cleaning up other people's pile of dunn all over. Well, they came to him with another one, so he kicked them to the curve and started his own exterminating business. As soon as he got his license, they filed suit, and won. The current district attorney of St. Landry Parish was my dad's lawyer and it went all the way to the supreme court. It was ruled that La. is a "right to work state" and no one can keep an individual from earning a living. - I think the case still pops up on Google - "Orkin vs. Foti".
Thanks for the info, I looked up your dad's case. It is sort of similar to my problem. I am not moving, it is done. My wife is not going to allow us to move anymore. We have bounced around this country and even overseas for a while. So my wife and I will file our paper work with the state and start our business.

My father in law says I should become a goat farmer his reasoning is, and I quote,"with all the dang arabs and mexicans moving here there will be a lot of people looking for goat meat."
