You could sue him for half, but what evidence -- such as a contract or other written agreement -- do you have to prove that he agreed to pay half?

If there is no equity, he should be cheap to buy out -- maybe that's the easiest way?

First off do you share a joint checking account?If not you have proof though bank statements.I would contact the bank or finance company whom the loan is through.you might be able to have him removed from the loan agreement.

How is that relevant?

If not you have proof though bank statements.

Proof of what?

Why would you want him off of the loan? What the OP needs is to get him off of the deed -- and you either need the ex's permission or a court order to do that. If you simply get him off of the loan, then the ex will have a 1/2 interest in the property with NO liability for the loan. That's the last thing the OP needs.

That was NOT a smart answer.
