domestic partnership

What is the name of your state? ohio

my boyfriend and I bought a home 2.5 years ago with the understanding that we intended to marry. thinking that I was making life easier, we put the house in his name only. (please ignore the lack of merit to this decision) now we are seperating and i am moving out. i have contributed to the mortgage, not to mention home maintenance and repair.

is our intention to marry a "verbal" agreement? can i expect money from him for my contribution to the home?

No.

It is not "our" home, it is his home legally. You would have had to pay rent no matter where you lived. And there is no "verbal contract" here.

Chalk this up as a lesson learned.

This makes the Pill obsolete. At least you got screwed without the threat of getting pregnant

**A: hire an attorney and file suit for your equity in the property.
