What is the name of your state? Texas
My boyfriend and I wanted to start a business together. We decided to move in together - for economics reasons. The agreement was that he would quit his job to work on the business full-time. I would remain employed full-time and pay the bills while we try to start the business. We verbally agreed after one year - he will pay me back for his share of the bills. Well, the week before the year ended, he moved out of the house (a house that he owns!) without any word to me. I left for work that morning as usual - with him and our dog waving goodbye to me from the garage. I came home that night and found his stuff was gone. Additionally, he canceled our credit cards, etc. He basically did all this without ever talking about breaking up/leaving.
Additionally, the business is registered as a sole proprietorship. He didn't want to do a Partnership for tax reasons, so he said. I worked fulltime at my regular job, then worked on the business evenings and weekends.
Do I have a case to sue to recover his portion of the bills and also for part of the business?
