Hello
Ive been in a common-law relationship for 3 years, we lived together for close to 1.5years and we share a 2.5year old daughter together.
He has bad credit, so when we purchased our brand new home it went soley under my name.
His father put down 40,000 as a down payment and my mother gave us 15,000 for closing fees and furniture.
we seperated about 6 months ago, he moved out 5 months ago... he hasnt paid 4 morgage payments so far, no bill payment, car payments, insurance...grocery money, nothing. My daughter went to pre-school in september, and i just found full-time work. i put the house for sale right when he left cause i couldnt afford to pay morgage...The house just sold, will be closing end of November.
My mother helped me out with morgage and bills for the time he hasnt been paying.
For the time we were living together, he never worked, where the money was coming from was questionable, although i knew, i didnt ask.
i went to see a lawyer, she informed me that my child support from him will be close to nothing, and spousal support probebly less.
His father just bought him a brand new BMW and a condo, so financially he is more than ok.
my question is, since he technically abandoned us, and the house and everything is in my name....do i have to give him any money at all for when the house sells....
he keeps talking about that if i dont give him half, then he will get a lawyer and prove where the 40,000 came from.
i know im being unfair by wanting to take everything, but he is leaving me pretty much with nothing. I hardly make 28,000/year at work, child support will be close to nothing, and i have to find a basement apartment to rent for me and my daughter cause thats all i can afford.
my lawyer said it is unlikely i have to repay him the 40,000 since there was no contract signed...
oh and i should also mention that we have about 30,000 in debts
please thank you for all your answers.
