Don't know if this is the right category but here goes.
I shared a home w/ my X for 2 years before we split up and we both paid for everything equally together.
The home was in her name and she technically wrote the check for the mortgage but i paid alot of the utilites and bought the moajority of things we needed.
We did quite a few improvements to the home while we resided there(which i paid for) and hence had gained 10-20k worth of Equity just in that 2 year period....although that might be non-existant now
Last may i moved out of the home and ended up paying the mortgage solely by myself for the months of aug-nov, allthough i gave her cash for all of this.
I also bought her a Mac notebook and gave her quite a lot of $$$ so she could get by.
She had just finished her residency and had not taken a position as a physician so she was unemplyed @ this point and had no obvious way to pay for the house or for living expenses.
Can i file a lien against the house for the money i put into it or for the 4 mortgage payments i paid for her?
I have very little evidence of this but am almost posative i can get her to admit it in a phone conversation, and i can't fathem that she would lie in court.
She verbally agreed to pay me back for the monies lent.
Or would i be better off taking her to small claims court, or can i do both?
We shared the home from aug 2005-may-2007.....and i paid the mortgage and paid for all her living expenses from aug-nov 2007.
Thanks for any and all help.
