Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
My former fiance and I built a house together 2 years ago. The deed is in both of our names. I am not on the mortgage. He did that in his name only because he earns alot more money than I do.
We broke up and I moved out. What is the legal process that he will need to take to get me off the deed? Will he have to buy me out?

The process in Florida is called a partition action which is the legal action you file against him asking the judge to force the sale of the house because it's in both names and you no longer live with him and don't want to own the property with him anymore. These type of actions I've handled before sometimes result in settlements with one side buying the other out and other times the judge does appoint a realtor to sell the home and split the proceeds after sale accordingly to fees,costs,etc. Are paid as these facts change in different situations.
