What is the name of your state? Florida
Reader's Digest version: Man meets woman last November, falls in love, they agree to marry in future, woman insists they live in her town 400 miles away, so prior to getting married he sells his home and purchases a new home in girlfriend's town and puts her name on the deed with his. She contributes not one dime to downpayment or closing costs. She has never contributed anything towards mortgage payments, etc. She moves into new home. My friend moves all his personal property into new home, but only visits on weekends waiting for transfer from job. Within 30 days of purchase of new home she declares the relationship over, changes the locks on the door, and won't allow him access to his personal property, (house full of furniture). Six months later he is still sleeping on his brothers couch and paying on a mortgage to a home he cannot access. All the money he has in the world is tied up in this house. What are his options? Why can't he at least get his stuff? How can she occupy this property with impunity? Since his name is on the deed can she deny him use of the home?
