Cool
illinois-dupage county. My boyfriend and I purchased a home 3 years ago. The relationship has gone bad and for safety reasons I have to move out. He refuses to buy me out and/or sell the home. I cannot afford to rent a place and pay mortgage. What can I do to protect myself if he does not pay the mortgage? I put up the downpayment and cleared up his bad debts. I cannot afford to just sign the home over to him. What recourses do I have?

File court action against him and request a partition sale. The Court will order the property sold and the profits, if any, divided equitably.

selling home/illinois

What are the steps I need to take to file this court action?
Should I hire a lawyer or is it easy enough to do myself?
Can I still move out without paying mortgage if he defaults?
Thank you for replying.

You need to hire an attorney. If you move out, you are still liable to pay the mortgage.
