girlfreind /boyfreind breakup

[dupe63]

i have lived with my girlfreind for approximately 6 years. the house and utilities are in her name. she wants me to move out. there are no legal issues or protection orders in place as there is no domestic violence. our main problem is her 20 year old son who is dependent on illegal drugs. do i have the same rights to eviction as if it were a regular month to month rental agreement. 30 day eviction notice?

I'm afraid that I know of NO laws in any U.S. State which would protect you in this particular situation, seeing how everything is solely in her name, you aren't married to her, she hasn't used your last name as to create a common law marriage issue, and you aren't the natural father or a legal custodian of her son. Sorry! I hope everything works out, and remember, "bad things happen for a reason" ... and in my opinion, they happen because its either to redirect you in a different path for your own good, present an opportunity for you to learn from your mistakes, which will only make you that much smarter as you continue to live your life, or both.

Malibu, thanks for the advice, i feel as though i may have some legal recource. any ny lawyers that may have any advice? i feel like i have been used the last six to eight months to make many repairs and modifications.maybe a plot between her and her son?

That would fall into a Materialman's Lien, and unless you had some sort of verbal or written agreement with her to perform the work, then I still feel you have no grounds for recourse. I know you're in a bad situation, hun, but at this point, you might want to try to work something out with her in order to allow you additional time to find suitable residency elsewhere.

I agree with Malibu Barbi.

You do have the right to notice of some type but what's the point in staying and prolonging the agony? I don't see anywhere that you paid rent. Did you help pay for the mortgage in lieu of rent? Honestly, this whole situation is a big mess with little proof of what, if any agrements were made and whether your repairs were just "things a guy does for his girlfriend voluntarily out of affection" and not truly the result of a business dealing.

IMHO, move on and try to forget about it. I'm very sorry for this having happened to you, especially after SIX years... Perhaps in time you may think that staying in such a situation would have been far more cumbersome than you prior realized. Good luck to you!
