Hello. I broke up with my partner of 17 years in 2020. I just wanted out of the relationship so we agreed that she would keep the paid off condo (no mortgage payment) and we divided up money. She is on a fixed income so by giving her the condo, all she would have to pay is the condo dues and property taxes. We were not married nor did we have a domestic partnership agreement.
In the midst of trying to move out, I was very upset and she wanted me to sign a handwritten piece of paper stating that I would pay her 350.00 per month after I move because she is on a fixed income. I signed it because I just wanted out. The paper was not notarized.
She recently contacted a friend of mine stating that she wants these payments from me. My ex told my friend to tell me that she talked to a lawyer and the lawyer said this paper is legally binding and I can be taken to court even though it's not notarized and we were never married. Plus I gave the condo to her and we settled financially separately from that piece of paper I signed.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Would I be liable to pay her monthly?
