I had been in a commonlaw relationship for over 20 years with one child. I received a sum of money due to a car accident, and I'm on disabity. I had used most of the money to pay off our home and had done many upgrades. I also paid off many of my Ex's debts, in which he was able to purchase new items. These items were placed in his name only, but I'm responsible for half the debt. My lawyer said that my settlement money is gone and the best I could do is get half of everything, which seems very unfair to me!! I know about the unfair enrichment, but my lawyer is now overlooking that and wants me to settle for half, thats only half of my settlement money! Am I out of luck? is my lawyer right about me not getting my money back?

welcome to the forum,

with means and needs being the determining factor.
I'm on disability.
