non-compete of former firm when family business was client
I have a non-compete agreement and am starting a competing firm outside their geographic restriction. It states that I can not speak to anyone who was a client of my former firm. Some of the clients are relatives of mine and many were people I knew well before I began working for that firm. How would they enforce my not speaking to my Dad, cousin, and clients of my family's business?

This issue would disappear if you had done this in the beginning, in the future you should. In part the terms of the non-compete will be important, if it bars you contacting clients, document carefully how clients have contacted you.
