You have been forced to leave your home you co-own with an ex boyfriend you are on title but not the mortgage note what are your rights?

Answer 1

If you are an owner by deed then you own a one-half interest in the property and you have the right to the possession and use of the whole property. If there is a mortgage on the property and you did not sign it then the mortgage only affects the half-interest of the other owner. You can ask the other owner to buy out your half interest at fair market value. If he refuses then you could file a Petition to Partition in the appropriate court in your area and the court will sell the property and pay over half of the net proceeds to you. The outstanding mortgage should not be counted against your half of the proceeds. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who is familiar with all the legal aspects of your situation. The attorney should handle the negotiations with the other owner for you and will file the Petition to Partition if that becomes necessary.
