First off, he left because the relationship was over and he was hoping to sell the house, but because of the market being so bad, that isn't going to happen at this time. Yes, she was sharing the expenses, him paying about 60%. She said that she miscalculated the receipts but when he added them up, the amount was not 9k, but rather $7500. My guess is that she wants us to pay off her personal loan. He has been paying half the mortgage the whole time he has been gone. She was not given any money for the cabinets to date and there was no written agreement, it was verbal at the time she agreed. I don't believe she has any lien on the house, with his name solely on the deed and mortgage. I do agree she should be reimbursed for her contribution to the renos HOWEVER, because he will lose in excess of 20k if he were to sell it, I think it only fair she get the same deal. In short, the reno's did not increase the value of the home because of the market at this time. My question is...what can we do legally to get her out NOW?? She was supposed to be out by July 31. My children and I are moving across the country to be a family and she is in our home! Thanks everyone!
