Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
property division in domestic split
Purchased property with another individual and have been
living together since. Because we were planning to marry I signed my full name and partners last name on documents. Marriage didn't happen and split up in the making.
My question is: Do I have legal right to 1/2 of the property if I leave ?

Re: property division in domestic split
Depending on who holds title to the property and who made payments on it, you may be able to recover for or have a right to a portion of the property. To make that determination in Court, you would seek a partition action if you wanted to have it sold or to buy out the other person, but you may have other remedies.
