HI everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with unjust enrichment and constructive trust claims?
My Ex and I are going to court over custody / access so in his answer to my submission he included a claim for unjust enrichment and constructive trust. He is asking for 50% of all my savings at the date of separation.
We’ve been in common law relationship for 4 years . Lived together for 3.5 years in my condo that I purchased before meeting him. I sold my condo 6 months ago - we broke up and I bought my new place after the separation using money I received from the sale of my property. When we lived together he contributed 450$/month (gave me money) towards the living expenses .I paid all the bills for my property which came up to 1500 $/month on average. Prior to moving in with me he was renting a 1 bedroom unit for 800$/ month.
When we were together we were planning to use the money from the sale of my condo as a down payment for the house but I told him I wanted a prenuptial agreement before buying anything with him. The value of the condo didn’t go up a lot – 10k over 4 years – I sold it in a bad market.
I am trying to figure out if his claim even has a chance or he is just using it as a bargaining chip in our custody battle.
Thank you
