Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
So I had been with my boyfriend for 4 years. Two months ago, we invested in purchasing timeshare points. Both of our names are on the purchase contract, however the purchase was based on my credit, the loan is in my name, and the automatic monthly billing is billed to my credit card. He broke up with me a month ago for another woman. Is there any enforceable legal binding contract which can be drafted to hold him responsible for half of the entire purchase? How would I go about making this happen?

First of all, there are a number of ways to cancel or rid yourself of a timeshare.
Information on that subject can be found at www.timesharelegalaction.com
Secondly, there are a number or documents that you can get your boyfriend
to sign. But why bother? He has already agreed in the contract with the timeshare
company to pay but apparently is refusing.
Your best bet is to simply, hire an attorney to cancel your timeshare obligation.
Such a contract could be drafted, and if well drafted and he signed it, it would be enforceable. However, how are you going to get him to sign? I think Mr. Sussman's answer points in the direction of a more practical solution. Also, you'll probably want to notify your credit card company that you are no longer willing to accept charges from the timeshare company.
