So my ex and i split up and right before we did i went to the notary and had her sign a $20k promissory note and an affidavit to back up the note, i figured it was counting ALL the money and effort i spent on her from the beginning of our relationship till 6 years after. The note states that she pays monthly (around 400) for about 4 years. Now at the time i made the note, i was in panic mode and i should of just put $8k instead of 20, would i be able to explain that to the judge? And i honestly just want the money i loaned out to her back, not out of revenge or ill will but for financial reasons, currently attempting to buy a small house.
7 months later and I'm finally over her but i'm still paying for some things that were once hers (phone, joint credit card etc.) I came to the conclusion that i only want $8G back because that amount was the official amount that i paid for her credit cards out of my pocket and the rest of $12k was just us blowing it together on going out and doing coupley stuff, and i understand that money isn't coming back. I would just like the $8k that i loaned her out from my pocket, mind you that she hasn't paid me back a single cent and she's going around saying that she doesn't owe me anything. To top it off, we're still both young and i'm finishing up college. Since i never been in this situation or thought that i would be suing someone who i once loved dearly, i need a guide on what to do, i don't know where to go or what to say for that matter. Legal advice is what i am seeking and besides devastated that i am attempting to sue someone who was going to be my potential wife, i am confused as well! Thank you much in advance for any help!
