You need to check into the state laws where you live. Most states do not give the live in any credit for the contributions that they provide to the household. Try this site and see if any of the answers given by similar questions help any at all http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=32370 as I was saying earlier the state you live in may make all the difference.

No, not when you play house. Next time get married first.

Everything you buy for this house, be smart unlike me, and keep the receipts for everything.. I lived with my boyfriend for years,
supplied the kitchen cabinets, countertop, bathroom vanity, bathroom medicine cabinet, furniture, paint, wall borders, curtains, cedar shed, lawn mover, tools, garden equipment, etc...... I think you get my point, when I went to the attorney, the attorney asked to see receipts, please learn this mistake, receipts, receipts, receipts, oh cancelled checks.

NOPE

Call a lawyer. You are probably entitled to the things you yourself bought (furniture, household items) that you have the receipts for.

Lol more than likely not. It depends on what state you live in though because it could be considered as a common law marriage. So just check out state laws.


SweetGGirl
You should write up a cohabitation agreement. This would set the expectations of who is responsible for what and what both of you could expect in regards to entitlement.

The cohab agreement is null, if you marry, and then you should have a prenup in place.

The cohab agreement will tell you what to expect when/if you split.

Check out in your state. I know in California, living together for 3 yrs is considered like married!

depends on which state you live in.

in Cal, you're entitle to half of his equity if you live with him for more than three years.


That's my final answer

No, and if you married him and then divorced the house would have been his prior to marriage and you still wouldn't get any thing.

No you are not,,,,,and what ever it is you are paying you probably will have to pay if you lived alone. Besides you are not married and look at it the best way you can, if you guys brake up you do not have to worry about a mortgage payment, he does.

why do you let yourself be cheated, anyway!!!!!

Its not the mortgage. Its the Deed to the property. I brought a house and my boyfriend helped me pay half the mortgage for 2 years. When we broke up of course he got nothing. You can however put someones name on a deed without it being on a mortgage agreement. So the answer is....you are entiltled to nothing if your name is not on "THE DEED" Even Co signing on the mortgage does not give you a right to the property. It only means the lender expects "you" to pay back the loan. In order to have rights your name must be on the "DEED" Your boyfriend is paying the mortgage because he wants a winner take all situation. He knows if he ask you for half the mortgage you will "think" you have some type of ownership rights. Even if you did pay half the mortgage. Even if you co-signed on the mortgage. Without your signature on the deed you have no rights to the property what so ever.

I don't think so. Not unless he has your name on the mortgage or your married to him.

You're cohabiting and everything is in his name so no! Sorry.

Whether you find yourself legally entitled to anything or not, if after three years you now decide to abandon nest, a few kind words on your departure might be more than you deserve.

I am sorry your not? Unless he is willing to change the "Title & Deed" on the house & add your name on there? You should ask him. It doesn't hurt too ask? "GOOD LUCK"


Chris S
not if your just his girlfriend.
did he have the house before he meet you? and if he did would you think you were entitled to any part of the house. I mean the mortgage is ALL he does. Thats usually a pretty big bill. and well women wanted to work for everything they get, not everything they can take by the court. Maybe you don't like the situation anymore but that does not mean you should find out what you can take from him.
so NO you will not get the house

First of all you said boyfriend not husband, why would you be entitled to anything?

If your in the UK and have lived together for over 2 years I believe you are entitled to half - known as "common-law partner" I think! Also, if any of the bills are in your name, or you can prove that you have bought all the food etc via bank accounts and the such you maybe entitled to half of everything also. Might be worth checking out a divorce lawyer website or google-ing common law partner entitlements. Hope that helps a little!

no way

You can take anything you have a reciet for proving you bought the item. You might also want to check into the time requirement for a 'civil union'. In Florida if you live with another person for 3 years or longer you are entitled to half of what they have just as if you were married. I'm rooting against you but I guess I should be honest.
