I have been living common law with my partner for only four months and he has decided that he is not happy and would like to separate. We purchased a home together in which he put down 60% and I put down 40%. Our home is paid off. We both own the home (joint tenancy) and I was wondering if he does leave am I entitled to 50% of the home or not? I have a 10 year old daughter and we moved in together planning to build a life together as a family. I do not want to have to move out of our house and uproot my daughter as she just started at a new school and is just getting adjusted to our new life, so my intention is to buy out his share but I don't know what my rights are.
Also, the value of our house has decreased by about 10-20 thousand dollars. He still wants his 60% of what we paid for it when we purchased it back in February.
My last question is that he said he will not leave the home until the financials are figured out and agreed upon. I don't know how long this will take and I don't want to live under tension in the presence of my daughter. Is there any way I can have him stay elsewhere until this is resolved (he is able to stay at his parents house if need be)? I don't feel comfortable with him in the house and don't want to feel like I am walking on eggshells until this is resolved.
Thanks,
Michey
