What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
my ex. fiancee and i broke off our engagement 2 months before the wedding. we have been together for 5 years and for a little over 3 years of that we have been living together. We bought furniture and a tv, I paid half ($3,000 cash). We also had a joint account and both of our names are on the reg. for my car but i paid the car payments. 65% of my income was directly deposited into the account. he paid all the bills from the account and i stupidly didnt keep track of what he was doing. when i looked into it there was over $9,000 gone from our account that was lost on online poker sites.... the rest of my income went towards the wedding... I paid for the wedding myself and 8,000 of it was non-refundable.
I guess my question is being that we had a joint account and i paid for half the tv and furniture am i entitled to it?(my half) there was no written contract, or am i entitled to anything for that matter, or did i just take a major loss and have to start from scratch with nothing?
