What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
My ex-fiance and I had been living together for appx. 4 years and we were engaged for one year. I discovered that she was unfaithful and ended the relationship.
We bought a house a few months ago and the deed is in both our names but the mortgage loan is in my name. I make the payments.
We also bought a car. The title and loan are in both of our names. Again, I make these payments.
We share a checking account and she does deposit her checks into this account when she is working. She is a full-time student and is working part-time. I have, in the past, totally supported her when she was attending school and did not have a job.
When we bought the house her father gifted me appx. $6,000 as a down payment. I have a copy of the gift letter. Her name is on this gift letter but I am fairly certain that her father gifted the money only to me. Her name is on the letter to identify the nature of our relationship and why he gifted me the money.
She is not willing to give up the house and I obviously want her out. I want her off the deed and want to take full ownership of the house. Does an engagement constitute a contract that would entitle me to the house in a "palimony" case?
Regarding the car we bought together. I don't want it. I don't need an extra car. Can I legally force her to take possession of the vehicle and refinance the loan in her name? I would be willing to take the car and sell it but I would lose money trying to resell it.
What are my options in this situation? Do I have any ground to stand on here?
