My boyfriend of 13 years and I bought a house together in 2002.  He broke up with me in 2004 and I moved out.  Both names are on the deed, his name is on the loan.  We shared expenses when I lived in the house. He doesnt want to share the equity of the home because I moved out.  I want to get my name off the deed but do not want to GIVE him the house and asked for 1/2 of the current equity.  He is not willing to share the equity since I was the one to move.

The situation you describe is not really a real estate question, since the jointly owned property could just as well be a pair of shoes, a bank account, or a car. In this case, I'd contact a divorce attorney - since you've been together for 13 years (and in this property together for quite a while). Even though you're not "married", you share household assets, and probably will need a court to either grant you a portion of the assets (like a settlement), or issue an injunction that keeps your boyfriend from selling the property until you can come to an agreement. \n\nEither way, you can contact Lawyer Referral Service at 303 East Palm Lane in Phoenix (zip 85004) - their phone number is (602) 866-8888. They will be able to direct you to someone who works on contingency. \n\nGood luck!\n\n- Stuart

This is a sticky situation. First, I'm going to assume that your husband was on the original note and mortgage with his prior wife, therefore, he is obligated to make those payments when she does not, regardless of the divorce decree. It's crummy, I know. Sure, she can be held in contempt, but that really doesn't help you and your hubby out. My suggestion is this: Call the mortgage company that holds the note. Or rather, have your husband called. As he is on the note, he has a right to access any of the information. Have him explain the situation to the mortgage broker and find out what help they can offer him. Next, find an attorney that will sit down with you and find out what they suggest you do legally with the ex-wife. \n\nI can relate, as my divorce attorney suggested that all I needed to do was sign a quit claim deed to "remove" myself from the property. Luckily, working in the industry, I did know better, but it really bothers me that this is so common. Please keep us posted, I'll keep you and your hubby in my thoughts in the hopes that this works out for you.

His ownership of it may not be transferrable to you unless they own it as a tenancy in common.  And even then, his share going to you may not guarantee you the right to live in the home.   \n\nIf they own it as joint tenants, it's basically one dies, the other one becomes full owner.  You get nothing.  \n\nYou really need to see a real estate attorney in your area to find out your rights and what you should do.

She can say it, but you can contest the decision if you can prove special circumstances in regards to who is named on the lease.  If it is in your name, she is wrong.  If it is in both your names, you need to show just cause for remaining as the primary resident/leasee.  If there are children involved that is one reason.  If utilities are in your name, that is another reason.  If you have no way of moving your belongings out I believe it must be paid for by the department who is telling you to move.  You need to find a legal aid society that can assist you at low or no cost.  If you were the victim of a violent crime, then they should assist you with a restraining order against him.  This is most likely why you are being asked to move...the restraining order is in the works & the P.O. wants to get you out before it is issued.  I don't know, it sounds biased, but I don't know all the facts.  Hope this gives you some ideas.

California laws has a separate property law. Since you owned the property before you were married, he can not take it way from you. \n\nhttp://www.nvo.com/beaulier/statebystatedivorcelaws/

It is best in matters like these to get a lawyer..I know that they are spendy but in matters like these it is well worth it.  I found one who would take payments.  About the house the only way to get your name off the Morgage is for him to refinance the house.  The lawyer will prepare the documents that you have to sign.  If he refuses take him to court and a judge will handle it.  Be strong!! Let him know that this time you are done and you mean business!!\nBeen there, and Won!!

Basically you have to buy out your partner's share.  The partnership agreement probably spells out how this is to be done.\n\nIf you do not have a written partnership agreement, at least put the dissolution of the partnership in writing, in the form of a contract you both sign, and have it notarized.  Then it either [former] partners' heirs have a question about the assets of the partnership, you will have it all in writing.

That can be tough.  I believe when you are married property should be joint but that seems to be a problem in your situation.  I think you need to sit down and ask him how he feels about it.  Whether you're paying rent or paying on bills depends on your accounts. You just don't want to pay a lot for a home you have no ownership over if something does happen someday. See if you can come to an agreement after a few years or have something declared in a prenup that helps cover you. We all plan for forever but unfortunately it doesn't always happen.  Good luck in your marriage!! Have a great wedding!

A trailer if not attached to the land is (at least in my state) considered like a car. It it personal property, not real property. It will make no difference if her name is on the title as far as his credit is concerned.  It will matter if they ever break up, since he will have to give her half.\n\nPS. As I think more about this, the only problem I can see is that the holder of the note might have some clause about transfering title before the loan is paid off.  Read the contract first. But as long as she is not on the note, it will not affect his credit. I would not put her on the note. But again look at the contract.

A quit claim deed does not remove any sort of financial obligations. All that it does is state that you are giving up your right to make a "claim" against the property. If you were on the Note and the Mortgage/Deed of Trust, you are still responsible for that payment. As someone else already stated, make sure to get your name off of any utilities as well. \n\nUnfortunately, there isn't a quick fix to remove your name from the Mortgage/Deed of Trust. There are a few ways to go about it. As someone suggested, you can go to court to be absolved. Your partner can refinance the home on his/her own. Or (if the lender is willing) your partner could do what is called a "simple assumption". Basically, that means that the terms of the note stay the same, but your partner assumes sole responsibility. That will totally depend on your lender. Good luck, I hope this works out for you.

If you move your new spouse into your home you don't need to do anything.  If you're buying a home together then should't both names be on it?  I wouldn't buy a house with someone and not put my name on the deeds - husband or not!

Okay, here is the deal--\n\nIf they had a mortgage and they have decent credit and equity in the house, they could get a 2nd mortgage/equity line of credit.  That line of credit is considered a 2nd mortgage and it is recorded on the deed just like the first mortgage was.  They can indeed lose their house, either lender can decide to forclose on the house for missed payments.  Usually what happens is the first mortgage holder buys out the 2nd and then forcloses on the house.  \n\nIf they got a 2nd mortgage, they probably got a checkbook, so they could have written a check and gotten cash to give to Scott, but it was still a 2nd mortgage.  Payments will be due just like the first mortgage, every month.\n\nIf they aren't getting enough to pay both, they should immediately contact the first lender and see if they can refinance with both their mortgage and the equity line of credit.  This might be difficult because they have used all their equity in their house, so they are reborrowing for full value of the house and the bank might not go for it.  \n\nIt would be terrible for these people to lose their home because they tried to help somebody out.  I hope they can all find a solution.\n\nThey might also contact www.naca.com  \n\nIt's a non-profit housing advocacy group and they do some refinancing.  They are very much about people keeping their homes, so they might be able to help you where a bank might be less helpful.  \n\nGood luck!

He should file now and you two start out fresh.  Keep separate accounts for now and both try to build up credit.  My husband had debt from previous marriage and it will effect you also.  Anything that shows up on his credit will affect you when you try to buy a house or both signatures are needed to make a big purchase such as a car.  Doesn't matter when it occurred.  I had to pay off my husbands utility bill from a previous marriage before the electricity could be turned on in our new place.

If I understand you correctly you have bought a house that you are still paying for and it is on land you rent. \n\nYes , you do still need to pay rent or they will evict you with no compensation. If you have equity in the house try for a refinance to cover the cost of moving and buy a piece of property to locate it.

It sounds like you're alluding to an equity sharing mortgage.  I've seen municipal agencies offer loans like these, they didn't appear on title (just as beneficiary of a trust deed).  Also, generally they need to wait for you to sell or refinance the property to get their cut of equity.  Wouldn't it suck if the lender all the sudden said, "OK, give me my equity!" and you had to come up with a couple hundred thousand dollars!

I had the same problem with a guy that moved in with me. I wanted him to pay some rent to me, along with half utilities and groceries. It seemed only fair since with my school and work schedule he was there more than I was. He always complained and still does afterwards about how he paid part of my mortgage, but seriously, had he lived anywhere else he would have had to pay rent too. We ended up breaking up about a year later for various reasons, but the one thing I was definitely happy I did was to make him pay his way. Honestly, you should really look at it as a roommate situation and not a girlfriend situation. Would you let one of your friends live with you for free? Or even a complete stranger, which happens many times if you're looking for a roommate in a new city? Although I know my boyfriend at the time was a little resentful that I asked him to pay some rent to me, I'm glad I did. So yeah, I would talk to her and work out a reasonable payment she could make to you for rent, then still charge her for utilities. A good way to do it is to sit down and determine what kind of an income she will have and talk about a reasonable number that she will be able to afford without hating you later. As for her parents, they need to stay out of it. If they want their little girl to live somewhere for free, tell them to open up their basement to her. Shes a big girl, in or out of college, and it is about time they let her do her thing. And since it is your condo, they have absolutely no say in how much you charge her or for that matter any thing about your finances. Anyway, I hope you work it out. Good luck!
