What is the name of your state? California
My boyfriend and I reside in our owned home and each of our names are on the deed/title. We each contributed equal amounts for the down payment (about 20% of price each) and purchased as joint tenants. The mortgage is only in my name, as his credit was not good at time of purchase. I now feel that we need to spend some time apart and do not want to live together. He refuses to leave...I assume that I cannot legally force him. If I decide to leave, how can I protect my interests if we choose to not sell the home immediately? Can I legally force a sale? Any other options? I really appreciate any advice...thanks so much!
