Have your attorney file Partition for sale against her and ask for all costs and fees to be taxed against her.

She must be thinking that you are in a common law marriage. Well, this college girl is about to get a real life lesson.

There are three requirements which must coexist to establish a common-law marriage in Kansas: (1) capacity to marry; (2) a present marriage agreement; and (3) a holding out of each other as husband and wife to the public.

Your situation meets only one of these requirements.

Also, even if she could get a judge to recognize your 'union' as common law, since you have supported her through her college career, been the primary care giver and have paid the majority of the bills, you would have a good case for alimony on a rehabilitative basis.

Just tell her the house is being sold and if she doesn't like that, (pointing) there's the door. Don't let it hit her in the ass on the way out.

FURTHERMORE:

I'd better ask before the idiot patrol that seems to have invaded this forum posts.

First, are BOTH names on the deed?

Then you have a choice to make.

You can leave her on the deed and let the home appreciate in value or;

You an sell the home and split the debt, or;

you can buy her out of her interest.

Since you just refinanced I want to be clear on this. Both names are also on the deed correct? For What did you use the money?
