Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

Re: Home owner being sued by ex-boyfriend for 1/2 value of home

Even if your boyfriend's name was on the deed, which I assume it is not, unless he contributed to the payment of the mortgages it is unlikely he has a legitament right to equity in the property.

If his name is not on the deed then he has almost no chance of getting any of your equity in the home.

You should consult an attorney with all the facts and circumstances of the relationship and the purchase terms and payment of the mortgages etc.

The cost of such a review should not be very expensive and would be worthwhile in preparation for such aciton as your boyfriend might take.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

I agree with the above attorneys.

You are well-advised to retain an attorney and get all of your ducks in a row in the event that your ex decides to move beyond threats.

Just having an attorney will demonstrate to him that you intend to take this seriously.
