Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Not wanting to sell Partition of house
If a partitition order is seeked... what are the chances that the court could order the other party to sign the deed to the owner that has been paying all the bills and placed the money down for the house. I and my ex-boyfriend name is on the deed, but I placed all the money down to purchase and to pay for the house. The mortgage is under his name only since my credit was not very good at the time. He has not lived here since 2005 and there was a prepurchase agreement betweenme and him that the ultimate goal was to secure the home for me. A later agreement was signed stating that the forfeit all rights to the house. I'm not interested in loosing my house, just want to refinance to get the mortgage and deed of his name, but he refuses to sign the deed. I'm looking for a way that he can be mandated by the court to sign the deed so that I can refinance the house.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Without reviewing your documents, I am unable to tell you what the chances are. It does sound like you might have some good evidence but it is hard to pass judgment on something sight unseen.
You need to meet with a qualified attorney to read and review the documents. It is possible that a suit will not even be required.
