common law, she's left

[bradc]

My partner decided to leave the relationship for another guy. We were living in a new home that I built, and payed for majority of the materials with my own money. The thing is that the land is in here name. The house is in nobodies name because there was no morgage. I have must of the receipts for the building materials in my name. We lived there for 2 years. Can she take half of what there is? Or is this a case of unjust enrichment?
I live in Newfoundland

You are in a very complicated situation which requires proper legal advice.

Even if you can prove that the majority of the building ownership is yours, the land it is sitting on belongs to her.... and if she owned it prior to when your relationship began, or it was an inheritance... you could really be in a pickle!!

You need to consult a Lawyer asap...

Could always move the home professionally at cost.

The land was purchased during our relationship, we just decided to put it in her name

Right, but you own the house? You can spend many thousands litigating over the issue or spend less by having the house moved to a different piece of property which may also give you leverage with respect to unjust enrichment equalization and settlement.

Who paid for it?

Do you have documentation?

[bradc]

I may have given her the money but the receipt is in her name

[KeepSmiling]

Have you asked her what she wants to do? What she thinks is fair?

[bradc]

Can't move the house...but aslo wondered if I have a case of unjust enrichment. I did build the house and increased the value of her property

She would settle with 20k but that would put me in financial destress. Would rather spend it in court cost then give it o her and the other guy
